BITTER IRONY I may look 12, but I'm more like 30. I make love, but just feel dirty. I seek pleasure, but find pain. I love the sunshine, but get only rain. I long for friendship, but I stand alone. I wander away, only to come back home. I search for the rainbow, but there's just black. I strive for completeness, but everything I lack. My glass remains empty, probably has a hole. My heart is broken. I'm missing my soul. I keep walking faster, but fall further away. I know the right words, but the opposite I say. Am I trying too much? Thinking too hard? No matter how I play, I keep picking the wrong card! ![]() ELMO "No man is EVER worth my tears, and the one who is, will never make me cry!"

Sometimes life feels like this but you have to go on believing that it gets better. |

As someone who looks (and is) old, this poem made me smile, but it did more than just that, because it is a well crafted poem. |

Honestly I can so relate! If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
