Disappointedly happy

By Paul B

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Life is pain and grueling grind Full of sadness and grief An ever constant proof Of Rape and pain, the murderer and the thief. Then you question “why do I stay?” Why live in society’s sty When the grass is so much greener In the field on the other side. Well in all the pain I seem to grin Adversity is the other man’s sin And I am just disappointedly happy Laying here in the mud of my kin I taste that rush of caring beyond my needs Stupidly I drink from the tainted fountain Of another’s troubles None of which I can claim You took me in your arms, that day And cradled my head against the storm, The longing and the loss left me then So whole I stay Disappointedly happy Written December 31st, 2001 © on Dec 31 2001 07:48 AM PST   0 • 12
