A Real Life

There were times I was sad But yet, I never cried In times of trouble I never told a lie There were times I was happy But yet, I never smiled There were times I was all alone Walking the loneliest of miles I never asked for help Even when it was needed At times my stomach wanted food But I had none to feed it The good times and the bad times At times seemed the same I learned somewhere along the way Life is more than just a game There were times when I thought That I am almost there But it seems the closer that I got I felt like I wasn't going anywhere It seems to me some people No matter what will always fail A life lived with no hope Is a life that won't prevail 6-17-19/RjH
