Bitter Sweet Life

Sadness sets in like the night Gradually and slowly in the dimming light It melts the light into the horizon Occupying the vast space, its job done You fall asleep waiting for day to appear You wait for dawn to near You close your eyes and enter a nightmare You cry in virtual reality leaving you bare Finally it's over and day sets in It comes with a boasting brightness claiming its win It washes away any trace of the dark It fills you with hope and joy leaving a permanent mark But beware, night will come It will come and take over with its haunting hum Along with it comes the nightmares and fears Along with it comes the wait and the tears Don't worry, as night is sad day is happy Happiness will come, with all of its golden glory It will shine all around Making its presence profound It's a circle it will never end for all we know It's a circle to which we have no choice but bow We accept with modesty that life is this Neither is it pure torture nor pure bliss It's a constant battle forever Between sadness and happiness, no one will win however Both always are in equal measure Sadness weighs you down happiness is a buoyant pleasure.
