PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

When will life learn to be kind?

It's awfully hard to endure.

Just when I feel I'm steady

I return to being insecure.



Nasty little surprises

Always land with a wallop -

And so unexpectedly

Big dollop after dollop.



Staggering under the blows

Trying to discern my way

I'm gradually enured

To the pains coming each day.



But 'Do not be cynical,

Don't develop a hard shell',

And 'Learn to distance yourself'

Are the words I know too well.
