Over the deprived emotions
When everything runs against us
And, because of someone we love
Our happiness become sorrow,
Under the weight of our shadow
We stand lamenting the fate, created,
By people we trust so much in life
Befuddled and confronted with pain
The fingers we point at those who cause it.
Human nature intrinsically sick at times
In expectations life is motioned daily,
Failing to see dreams fulfilled
Hatred we raise in place of love
Because we think we know
The ones we love
Until usurped by their selfishness
We smear oil on our palms
And try to climb life’s pole.
Damn!
We think we know
The ones we love,
Whom we know not
Whether we truly love.

Never let a misplaced trust drag you down. rise above it look down and smile because they are the ones with tortured souls. not us'
wipe the oil off and climb...climb...climb
Poignant!I second almost verbatim what Grizz said! Make "Tortured no more" your motto!! All the best!!

I'm with Grizz
ReplyDeleteits for you to chose -- be be happy or sad with your life...no one is responsible for that, Cyclop :)
ReplyDeleteselfishness first kills the possessor and then others.....Long back we spoke of it, i guess
it only takes a breath to change the perspective...but then a selfish person will always be selfish....and so these cycles repeat...let it..we might need to do that to accomodate others :)

ReplyDeleteI've been there too. Disappointed by things I had no idea about.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very sad part of life.
Deep and meaningful
ReplyDeleteYou've painted a sad but real picture of disillusion and disappointment in feeling betrayed by those we love. Love what Old Grizz had to say about it. :)
ReplyDeleteso deep and so sad, try to forget bad things that happened in your life and see the bright side of life, problems and heartaches were made to conquer and see God hands heal all our pains, nice poem!
