Life's A Scam

Contributed by Mars on Wednesday, 17th December 2008 @ 06:01:46 PM in AEST
Topic: anguished



-

I understand
That they don't care
I've come to terms
Life's not fair
That no one knows
Who I am
That no one cares
Life's a scam
So alone
Left in the cold
All my dreams
And hopes are sold
There's nothing left
Here for me
All is dark
As far I see
Tonight I cry
For what could have been
If I'm to die
It'd still be a sin
There was a chance
I could have won
They burned it all
I was done
I had a chance
Once before
That I could love
Thrown to the floor
Traitors they are
Every last one
For all they care
They love no one

Chances come and go, But to judge and pit ours against theirs leads to despair. and from a poem I read on this site...... when the fire settles from the ashes the Phoenix will rise.

Dynamite in small packages is the phrase that comes to mind when I read the poem. I have a special liking for poems that say a lot with a few words, that have short concise phrasing, and short lines. Regardless of topic, these sort of poems are what I like. It almost reads like a "stream of consiousness" writing. I enjoyed it.

I like the way you formatted this one. Short lines but very powerful with emotion. People suck but not all of us. I think it definitely helps to write about it. Hope it gets better.
