Ode to those dealing with DECEIT

[RandomPoet]

Is this the choice:
To Go through life
A frozen, empty shell
Or live the torture
Feel the pain
A masochistic hell
Or maybe just stop caring;
Stop minding; be ok
With all the little disappointments
Heaped along the way
Stop the hope, the expectation
Hold your heart aloof
Don't presume that what he says
Might ever be the truth
Or maybe, the answer is
Find happiness each day
Only in the here and now
The future's kept at bay
Savour those good points
You know he has inside
Stop wanting what you cannot have
And what he can't provide
You're not alone,
the world is full
Of disillusioned hearts
Broken promises and
A hundred new "fresh starts"
Let it go; just float away
The time has come to see
That some things are not what you wanted
Are not meant to be

Strewth, that's depressing...

Not sure what to make of that...

That is a bit depressing Random Poet, did you write it yourself?

May as well give up hope now then

Yeah. I'm sorry. My intention wasn't to depress people. I wasn't really thinking how it might make some of you feel in your situations where you are trying to make fresh starts with fresh hope. I haven't felt able to post about my situation and obviously can't talk to anyone else. And it all just sort of came into my head all at once. And I wanted to share it with someone. I'm sorry.

I liked it....

I loved it. Its very meaningful

Did you write that?
pretty good

Yes I concede it is meaningful

it's a good poem, what makes it good is that it can be read from different perspectives and still make sense.

so in some interpretations it will seem depressing, in others it won't.

either way it's meaningful and will speak to quite a few people especially at the moment when we seem to be having an epidemic of relationship threads dealing with deceit.

hope things improve for you soon RandomPoet and that you find someone to talk to soon.

thanks for sharing the poem with us.

They didn't improve. I wish they had

You can talk on here you know RP - plenty of fabulous MNers will have great advice having (sadly) been through similar situations themselves. It helps, trust me I know
