Born into sadness
This life
This world
Every twist
Every turn
of the knife
Fighting the darkness
Each day
Each night
When they twist
When they turn
Away
Reaching for happiness
Through pain
Through sorrow
Every twist
Every turn
down this life's lane

Nice work buddy!! 😁
The flow of this poem felt so smooth - like a snake wiggling from side to side. You captured such a vivid movement in emotion so well! Nicely done Paul!
Once the silliness is out of the system, reality sets in ever so bleakly?
Happiness is a myth we're chasing. That's how it feels to me at this point. Loved your poem! 🍩🥐
Life can be tough, just keep going. 🤗
Man, this hits with a harsh dose of reality. Sometimes it seems like life is a journey from one painful destination to the next. Nice poem, Paul!
Keep reaching.
