The Lies of Life


No one ever said that life would be easy
But,
No one ever told me it would be this hard . . .

Crying misery,
Lonely tears,
Dark depression,
Forgotten fears.

No,
No one ever told me life would be this hard.

Surrounded by people
(They call me their friend),
Yet I feel more alone than ever,
I’m isolated in a crowded room.
I find it hard to be near others,
Blinded by even the nightly
Light of the moon.

Life isn’t supposed to be this hard.

I’ve heard it gets easier
As the years pass
By.
But now that the years have gone,
I’ve discovered that’s the biggest
Lie.

Ease does not come with
Time.
Everything doesn’t always turn out
Fine.

But you learn to
Live and
Accept and
Deal and
Go on,
Regardless of
Fears,
Loneliness,
And eventually you
Learn…

That life isn’t always easy.
(That it’s hardly ever easy)
