just realistic
written by SilentScreamsofDeath05:06 AM 1/10/05Happiness is so fleeting,
Yet misery seems to be infinite.
Ecstasy is an ephemeral emotion,
Lasting only until it is replaced
by the terrible grief that manages to survive a lifetime.
A brief smile is but a weakness,
A temporary lapse of the perpetual frown
that shields us from ourselves.
A twinkle in a laughing eye is most often washed away
by tears laced with sorrow.
You can cling to hope in vain
only to be drowned by melancholy and sadness.
There is no option but to surrender,
to give in and be taken under
by the black current of despair-
Destined to lead a pathetic existence
in a world of blinding darkness. |
