A Yorkshire Poet Poet Free verse

The Frowns Outplay the Smiles

The pain is in my veins

My mind tries to maintain

A strength needed to survive

But sometimes life seems too much a compromise!

Why do I stand here surrounded by fear?

Why do I strive to make life clear?

Is life really worth the tears?

Is it worth all the fears?

Sometimes the downs outweigh the ups

The frowns outplay the smiles

You have to reason for more miles

On this journey through life's trials

You have to find a will to fight

Or life will crush you out of spite.
