Ain'T It Sad How Things Turn Out To Be

When I was young, I was so carefree, At least that’s how It seems to me, Ain’t it sad, How things turn out to be? Full of hope, Full of passionate dreams, A thrilling new world Lay right before me, Ain’t it sad, How things turn out to be? Glass half full, Then it’s half empty, My mood can change So very unpredictably, Ain’t it sad How things turn out to be?

I wrote a similar poem. Childhood was fun. Yet don't be sad since u can write super cool. I like the refrain of this it sings in an appealing touching way. Kudos. Soo nice to read from your pen again. I luv interaction in this cold world, Pleez add your thoughts/comment to my newest poem too, or this world feels too robotic ah

Excellent poem of how it was in our experiences in life and how because of human nature and acts of nature it is all different. Good depiction.

Thank you, Mintra, that is so true, human nature, and the everyday hardships of life; as well as our own mistakes in many cases, effectuate tremendous change in our lives.
