Life

Life why are you so cruel

To me, your lovely child

You were suppose to nurture me

Always, not only for a while

Life why did you take my smile away

And replace it with salty tears

You took all my hopes & dreams

Transforming them to endless fears

Life you did say some days will be hard

I didn't know you meant everyday 

Heartbreak, disappointment & hurt

That's all that comes my way

Life please give me the happiness

You know I so rightly deserve

Life I am on the verge of giving up on you

Don't be fooled by my calm reserve
