Just Another Poem

Look down at me
Laugh but
You will never
Truly be free
Your laughter will
Soon turn to sorrow
My pain will
Be gone tomorrow
There is a flip side
To everything
Life is a big table
U choose what to bring
U seem to be full
I won’t say what of
I’m still hungry
I continue to shove
When things get bad
U just don’t give up
Or operate on emotion
When ur mad
If only u could see
From the beginning
How much u meant to me
Too bad discontent
Is all this could ever be
Just another poem
About life in general and
How things could be
