LIFE

I'm always trying, Nothing I'm gaining, Little sobs I'm always crying, Day and night tears I'm wiping. People see pleasure, I see failure, Friends see leisure, I see a woman who is lesser. I hide my pain in words, But my mind is playing around swords, Am I not what the community yearns- For, or am I a prodigal in the yards? Why do I keep fighting for fortune? Out here people are drinking Singleton, While I am busy praying in the same tone, I'm not happy because apart am torn. I'm trying smart and hard, Praying to get what I've never had, But my prayers are never heard, I'm ain't no nerd, But life is freaking hard. - Carthypoet
