A Day To Get By
Poem
I look about my day today, and everyone seemed so content in their way.
I looked deeper to my own surprise and there are was so much of discontent on its way.
When we feel, when we love, are we something on just the surface above?
Why are we pretending so much? Why?
Why so insecure and why is your life so dry?
Why so helpless about our personal situation in our lives?
They are our own choices, making us miserable, meek and shy.
Our own choices that has made life, ‘a day to get by’.
