State of affairs
too bad too sad
i`m bored with the whole act
feel like flying, getting rad
deader than dead ends
no hope in sight
what happened to happiness
why is life such a fight
oblong days, nights on a short fuse
i glance in the mirror
i`m really not amused
the toast was golden brown
but the jelly was flat
the taste has gone out of life
and i don`t know how to get it back
so i go it alone in this tragic play of sorts
grabbing snatches of normal feelings
but with an underlying note
it`s a pain that i suspect will never go away
can i ever trust again
or love without fear
what i used to take for granted
more than life i hold dear
how life tortures our hearts
and stamps out our feelings
i wonder how many survive its harsh cruel dealings
i guess some have it better than others
but i have a word of advice
when everything is going great
and you think it`s oh so nice
that`s when you don`t see it coming
and your perfect world is trashed
so don`t take things for granted
suck the marrow out of life
enjoy your children, love your parents
stand by your beloved`s side
for me ,dark days
when life should be so full
i struggle to find meaning
or some guiding pull
to steer me clear
and sail me on
and keep me going

Quite moving are your words on screen as they echoed thru my mind how things can be.

Thank you for sharing your poetry with me.

Namelessone, I think it's not that things are going right and or nice, but we close our eyes and pretend things are ok, and everything is fine. Then "boom!!!" and we try to fool our selves by saying what happened?
This poem has heart I'll print it out to read again.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

I think your advice is wonderful as is your poem...
Some times I think life going well is an illusion...one that always breaks to reveal what truly is...


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...
