The Poor get poorer, the rich get richer
The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker
When life gives you lemons
Why make lemonade?
No point in trying to make a difference
When no difference can be made
Sorry if this all sounds a bit sadistic
But I can’t help being a bit pessimistic
Life treats no-one fairly
Nor is it supposed to
So what do I do with all those lemons?
I would like to throw them back at you
Let nothing and no-one stand my path
Harbor no regrets in life’s aftermath
To all you people who pull me down
I’m not here for a long time, I’m here to play
Life is a test but there’s no pass or fail
Life is but many different shades of gray
So it seems, some are hiding behind their facades
When weeks seem like years, and years seem like decades
And decades of decay eat at your insides
Leaving you a shell of your former space
With contempt -
Life itself will laugh in your face.

What honest opinion do you desire? Do you want an opinion on [structure] or on this "life's not fair" subject which was\is your personal opinion? Desired or not. I have to say that life is fair. Life's all about gaining experiences. If one never experienced the bad how would they know when they're having good times - experiences? I was going to say this is full of clichés but then life is full of clichés isn't it? Happiness!!!

To be honest I wrote this one a fair while ago. I can't remember why or what I wanted critism on, perhaps it was structure... Think I was perhaps looking for comments. I wrote this in december and I only have one comment, yours. Thanks for reading my poems. I look forward to reading some of yours too.

painfully true
this is a side that i have yet to see.
i'm not accustomed to see such a write, coming from you. i'm sorry that you are hurt, but i'm not sorry for reading this write. excellent
it all seems hopeless in the end, i know for i have been there, and am still there. but hey look on the bright side, i am three time zone closer to you know. instead of a 14 hour difference, i am now only eleven. and you know what, it may even be closer, for i am heading to australia sometime later this year. that is of course if everything goes well.
until then, keep those daddy long leggeds at bay.
ciao for now
