IS THIS IT?

I walked the road of Life

Always looking at the brighter side

I welcomed the pain I got

With the little happiness that came my way

I stood there, rooted to the ground

And watched,

As Life took everything away.

Is this it?

Is this how it is meant to be?

After all the years I have lived

Challenging nothing that happened to me?

Today I find myself

Standing alone at a place

Miles away from the place I was meant to be

Why has Life always been unfair to me?

Every morning I smiled at the sun

Thanked God for showing me a new day

I did all that I could

To keep things the right way

But in the attempt to do so

I ruined everything myself.

Is this it?

Was this meant to happen the way it did?

Then why did I try?

If I could not change it!

Why did the sun smile at me?

When every night brought tears?

Why was the happiness momentary?

And why is my pillow always wet with tears?
