A Complication of My Times 01/13/2000 It is but a complication of my times A true testimony of the way my life has been And like a shell of useless garbage I am protected by false hopes of recycled dreams But I continue to try Knowing in my mind that regardless of what I may do Fate has other plans for me So I go on my way Finally admitting that good guys never win That my fortune is but dwelling thoughts of what I really want It is but a complication of my times A true testimony of the way my life has been And like worthless kisses of a shadow that has fallen for me I find it hard to feel And find it harder to see even on a clear day How useless my actions can be For it is but a complication of my times A true testimony of the way my life has been To reach for the stars and find the relentless light of a broken dream shining bright Waking me up at night and reminding me that I am still alone As shadows that fall for me comes and embraces my soul Telling me that I won’t feel a single thing Be it happiness Be it joy Be it love But I continue to try Knowing in my mind that regardless of what I may do Fate has other plans for me So I go on my way Finally admitting that good guys never win That my fortune is but dwelling thoughts of what I really want Nate Tolentino |

Welcome to Passions. And this poem is lovely... And yes, good guys do win. If you're determined enough, you'll always reach that point of happiness inside, despite all of life's strife. You wrote it on the thirteenth too...  That's my b-day, even more interesting. Nevertheless, nice poem, me like very much.~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

WELCOME! Well I was gonna say good guys win too, but everyone else said it already. The sun will shine again, what goes around comes around. You will find your win too! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |
