Despairity (Triquatrain )

Sands of time, a world sublime This unforgiving life Try you may, and though you pray The pain cuts like a knife Easier each day, or so they say Time will heal the saying goes Tightening rope, losing hope Despair that no one knows Wish for good, misunderstood How could things get worse Strength diminished, patience finished Your suffering destiny's curse Thinking negative, no more to give Live each day as it's your last If you were gone, they would go on Left with memories of the past Gone but not forgotten, begotten A shame things turned out this way When in need, a friend indeed Came to save the day Others too busy, drama makes you dizzy They live their life the same Should be so glad, their life isn't this sad And who should carry now the blame ~~~Triquatrain~~~ The Triquatrain form was created by Robert L.
