Fair?

A Poem

By Jessica BurbyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

When your enemies get blessed

and your just trapped in their mess

With no light to see you through

"Life's not fair" is completely understood.

When you try your hardest

Yet,

Everyone is hardened

Life never seems flawless

And gratitude feels and seems worthless

Now, you can't see what the point is.

How do I go on?

With despair leading me on

Enticing what's wrong

Into fantasies long gone

Egging the war on

So, I'll never belong anywhere for long.

These dawning realizations

Slowly ease me into new places

Although, the thoughts seem negative

Without no growth would make it.

This is the truth

I can take it.
