I walked along the deserted streets,
Thinking about the past that repeats,
All the memories that haunt me at night,
Making me feel like I'm out of sight.
The love that I lost was so pure,
It made me believe in love for sure,
But now all I see is gloom,
Tears rolling down like a monsoon.
I try to hide my pain with a smile,
But the agony in my heart is vile,
I wish things could be different,
But fate has its own intent.
I remember the days of happiness,
The laughter and the sweet caress,
But now they seem like a dream,
A distant memory, a silent scream.
I wonder if I'll ever find love again,
Or if I'll be forever in pain,
But for now, I'll just keep walking,
In search of a silver lining.
Title: Joyful Celebration
The sun is shining, the birds are singing,
The world seems like it's rejoicing,
All around me I see happiness,
A feeling that I can't suppress.
The joy in my heart is so pure,
It feels like a brand new allure,
I want to dance, to sing and play,
And make the most of this lovely day.
I see my friends and family around,
All of them with smiles abound,
We embrace and share our love,
Thankful for the blessings from above.
Today we celebrate a milestone,
A moment that we'll always own,
We revel in our achievements,
As we make new commitments.
Our hearts are full of gratitude,
For the people who helped us with fortitude,
And we know we'll go far,
As long as we remember who we are.
Title: Envious Lament
I see them living a life so grand,
Their success appearing so unplanned,
Their happiness radiating all around,
Like a pot of gold that they just found.
I, on the other hand, struggle every day,
Trying to find a way to make my way,
But no matter how hard I try,
Success seems like a distant sigh.
I look at them with envious eyes,
Feeling like I've been deprived,
Of the joys they seem to have in store,
Wondering when my luck will change for sure.
Why them and not me?
I wonder as I take a plea,
But no answer seems to come,
Just the sound of my own drum.
I know I shouldn't compare,
And should focus on my own affair,
But it's hard to ignore,
The success they seem to score.
Maybe one day it'll be my turn,
But until then, I'll just have to learn,
To be happy with what I have,
And not focus on what I lack.
