My heart sings secretly
"grief and sadness"
My eyes are fatigued.
Tears do as they please on my face.
Sadness is like the meal I eat every day.
Poverty is what troubles me most.
I have no one in this world.
Tomorrow, I might try to manage.
Just like any other day.
I am not sure what is ahead.
Sometimes I just want to die.
So my soul might slumber peacefully.
Happiness is what I dream about in my sleep.
The smile on my face is not real.
My heart sings secretly.
A chorus of grief and sadness.
Love and luck have never been on my side.
Nobody loves me or even likes me.
I'm like a cursed elderly person.
Yet, I'm still young.

wow so pure
Wow! Your Words beautifully capture deep emotions of sadness, loneliness, and a longing for peace. The vivid description of tired eyes and tears makes you feel the emotional struggle, and comparing sorrow to daily sustenance shows just how heavy the grief is. The contrast between the speaker's outer appearance and inner turmoil is so powerful, showing how different things can be on the surface versus inside. The lines about love and luck not being on the speaker's side hit home, making you feel the loneliness and the fight against fate. The ending thoughts about feeling like a "cursed old man" even though still young are so moving and make you think about life's challenges. Overall, this poem is raw and evocative, effectively capturing the complexities of human emotion and the longing for relief from suffering. Fantastic job!
So sad, yet beautifully written. Congrats on the TS.
