Floating among the dusty dreams
The morning remains elusive
Putrid downfall replaced rays and beams
Will nothing be conclusive?

It’s humble, modest and fair
To take victory in stride
And refuse to share
It’s yours to hide

Lifes purpose to betray
When enduring despair
It’s labelled cowardly to display
That you're unable to bear

To remove that crooked mask
And acquire a hand
Desperate to ask
But unable to stand

Another rhyme to unrequited love
Or dejected lament
A devout Salmn to the above
Or simply passion spent

It’s never truly hidden
Our suffering is written
On our face, it’s forbidden
But in literature, we’re forgiven

To admit defeat sometime
No hand to hold, none to lend
Merely human to cry, it’s no crime
Pain is life
not the end

Really appreciated this. Enjoy hearing someone's different impression on life, but one
I still relate to. Kudos.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured.
