Pain and Gain
Have never been sure where I should begin
But it looks like I have been lured in again;
Parts of puzzle pointed to finally all fit
After I continued on and never would quit.
Life is also like that each and every day
No matter where you look or which way
And after very much time I did devote
Accidentally erased poem that I wrote.
Isn't it so silly how many people may be?
Words from their minds soon being set free
And a problem by me now must be faced
What was written ended up being erased.
All the words were lost never to return
Like something thrown in fire you badly burn
And end up having a felling of much despair
As poem burned up and blew into the air.
Poem I once wrote is now completely gone
And to myself, this had been brought upon
By matches becoming my mortal enemy
Burning up my poem and setting it free.
Now that I don't have my poem anymore
What was the reason I would write it for?
To many, my poem had been a big pain
When all I wanted was intellectual gain.
