Life Rocks Poem by deborah mae lacay

life must have been cruel these days
the consequences of the past always leave a trace
if only a spur of the moment could wipe them away
i shouldn't have been living all in gray.

i want a quick relief for all these-
but what could that be..?
you're not even here to say even a simple 'it's all right'
tell me, do i have to keep all these pain locked inside?

oh, i almost forgot i have been doing that all along
yes, all the while i was alone..
with nothing to hold on to but myself
in victory and and in failure-only myself..

you're with me yet so far away
i just can't understand why the thought always seems new
when that has always been and i guess will always be
success must not have been that easy to achieve.

i don't understand-oh yes i have trouble understanding
why i just can't be happy, plainly yet truly happy
i don't know what i am looking for..
or i just don't know how to notice what i already have.

loser..? am i a big loser..?
maybe.. because i always end up being hurt
for all the things that made me feel such way
i thank the man above for the life that rocks! !
