I should have known better,
All of these things for that I pine...
These things that most everyone has,
They will never be mine.
I should have known not to hope...
That this holiday could be happy.
And to let myself believe again...
That things would ever be different for me.
Some people have luck and others misery,
No matter how good I try to be...
It always turns out the same.
As if my life was part of a game.
There's always a reason why...
Why my smile fades into tears I cry.
I wonder why I always open the door..
And let hope in or why I care anymore.
I wonder why I always open the window...
And let sun in when I should already know.
It's never as it seems or appears,
As soon as love comes it disappears.
All of the friends I hold dear...
Taken again until no one is near.
I don't know why I continue to try,
When I know it will only end and I'll cry.
I don't know why I'm filled with surprise,
When as always the tears resurface my eyes.
I should just let go and accept what will be,
And how nothing will ever change for me.
I should have known what was meant to be,
My life ever caught in a sea of melancholy.

Why thank you. I was feeling very glum that day I wrote that. I do
not have the greatest of luck, but I haven't completely given up that
that could change. Perhaps I'll write a more optimistic poem some
time soon.

Wonderful
Sad indeed... but a beautiful and emotional write none the less... It made you feel the sadness you described so perfectly... and although I won't tell you to hope for better days... maybe if I said that better days WILL come it will make sound like a fact rather than like a wish...
