The Folly of Short Life

Life is a fleeting, fickle game,

We're born, we blink, it's not the same.

We hurry, scurry, with all our might,

Yet time outruns us, day and night.

Short life, alas, such an absurd shame.

About the Creator

R.Freya

Poetry is my soul's language, and I wield words like a paintbrush. From heartbreak to hope, I capture emotions and spin them into verse.
