*through

through the pain

we see and we take,

but cannot seem to find-

what it is we are looking for.



through the pleasure

you'll feel great for awhile.

it'll go away one day,

and someday, you'll want more of that pleasure.



through life

we find people that stay,

some that go,

but they all wither away one day.



through death

you find yourself

in a mess-

you must confess.



through happiness

you think you see for awhile,

till it all comes crashing down-

crashing down into yourself-nothing is left.



through sadness

you'll find happiness,

though it won't be long...

till your sad again.



through the light,

you can see things

just the right way, you think-

but it goes away at the end of the day.



through the darkness

you can't see,

but you'll find what you were looking for-

a little peace.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

havent written a poem in a long time... i really like this one. basically it's about pleasure, pain, death, life, sorrow, happiness- and how they all make us feel.
