Look On the Bright Side

Sad beyond compare
I have no life to share
I walk this lonely road
Carrying a heavy load

Feeling all depress
I live with constant stress
Trying to do my best
Living in regress

Pain in my heart
Never feeling apart
Left out of the game
I have no name

As my dreams fade away
I exist in chains
In a burning home
All alone

I’m going blind
All the time
Light-headed and dizzy
Staying busy

The light of the day
Makes me pray
For the comforts of darkness
From the heartless

Maybe it just me
Trying to be
Someone free
Of falling debris

Burning eyes, weary heart
Waiting in part
To share the love
From God above

It’s hard to see
I can’t believe
This world can be
Such a beast

Please look on the bright side. Life is like the two sides of a coin… joys and sorrows.. rain and sunshine… I love this piece so much, it is heart rending. Keep up the good write. Adeleke
