sense and sensitivity

nonsense and sensibility

I carry them inside of me

it makes me who I am

outcast from what I thought I'd be

not near what mama thought of me

it could be, we'll just wait and see

what comes out in the end

suspicious of the path we choose

we give and take, we win and lose

we all have something to prove

some praised and some condemned

win or fail still we all play

regardless of what people say

it's all a big game anyway

challenges to contend

For Funsurreal poetry

    I mean, life itself is a huge gamble. It's also a scam but I digress, lol. Loved your poem!

  • You're absolutely right. That black paint in the picture is going to take a couple of coats even of Kilz to cover, lol. Wonderful poem.

  • Are you a fan of Jane Austen? Great poem! Well written!
