On Life

Life is a mirage,
nothing but hardships and torture.
Nothing but a bubble, 
resting on the surface of the water...
so fragile.
Love is a dream,
only loneliness and restlessness,
It only takes one time,
one small mistake,
to break a heart forever.
Oh cursed be this life,
it has taken away my hopes and dreams.
Transformed me into an aimless wanderer,
with no future.
Every single moment of my life,
is a tale of loss and strife,
sadness seeps into my chest,
drowning me.
I cry to the sky to save me,
but perhaps it's too far away...
maybe it can't hear me,
maybe my suffering just isn't enough.
