Positivity Through Life

Love, sweet fleeting love, 
Never lasts. 
Trial and error, always
The end.
Try to keep love alight, 
Don’t die.

Happiness, gentle calm happiness, 
Never lasts.
A mismatched dream
That ends, 
Nothing left to stop it
It dies.

Peace, soft caring peace, 
Never lasts.
Disrupted through turbulence, which
Never ends.
Ongoing, ferocity, crying pain, to
Cause death.

Life, harsh yet balanced life, 
Always lasts, 
Difficult, painstaking yet
It never ends, 
A living cycle of hope to
Outlive death.
