Ironic Is Life

Ironic is life, is it not?
Such that the one who cares the most
Is cared for the least.

Ironic is life, is it not?
Such that those who have everything complain that it’s not enough
Yet those who have little or nothing feel so content.

Ironic is life, is it not?
Such that the one who is there for everyone else
Needs someone to be there for them the most.

Ironic is life, is it not?
Such that the one who is full of smiles
Is the one hiding the deepest pain.

Ironic is life, is it not?
Such that the person who wants to disappear
Is the one who just wants to be found. 

Ironic is life is it not?
Such that the one who is strong for others
Is the one who needs to be comforted most. 

Ironic is life is it not?
Such that the one who makes everyone happy
Just wishes someone would do the same for them. 

Ironic is life is it not?
Such that the one who had many friends
Still feels so alone in a crowded room. 

Ironic is life is it not?
Such that the one who loves deeply
Is the one that gets hurt the most…
