When Life Throws You A Paradox Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Lonely and hurt
This suffering heart
Abandoned and defeated
By the emptiness of words
Feeling so ugly
As these phantom tears fall
Down into this dead end
A self-haunting throughout the most solitaire years
So much to lose, So much fear
Lost hope upon a great distance
Of words never heard from again
Wallowing into a puddle
Of yesterday's dreams
Turning into a tormenting sorrow
Into the nightmares of these silent screams
Mouth frozen, Voice seized
Afraid of what is next
Being denied again
A residual always seen
Haunting this heart
Motivation all but gone
Saddened by this swansong's ambition
Love and acceptance is all I really want

Why is dishonesty respected when it flaunts?
So be it, Love and acceptance is all I really want

Loneliness and pain
The worst haunting of them all

Suffering into a silent cold state
Through the fear of hearts that so viscously haunt

Is this pain the pain that they have always wanted?
Into the purgatory of love
Where this spirit will never be wanted

Is this all a fact?
Is this all just fiction?
I know one thing
Just please, never walk this very walk

Even dead souls can live inside flesh

You have now been forewarned
Live life, Live it at its very best
Then the worst will never come again

Life and death is never the end
Indeed life and death will never truly be the end

If love cannot be truly love
Through pain and anguish
At least try to make it your very best friend

Life and death are both a paradox
Confused always trying to make amends

Life and death together will never end
It is always on repeat
Again and again and again

Life and death together will never end
