Sun Will Set, Sun Will Rise

The sun sets on another day

and I didn't accomplish a thing

I feel the usual disappointment

but I no longer feel the sting

Sometimes, as I lie alone

and the thoughts race in my head

I wonder when I wake tomorrow

if I'll bother to get out of bed

Living with the knowledge I'm not wanted

having been the black sheep throughout this life

though I try not to think much about it

the reality still cuts like a knife

Spent so much of my time in speculation

about why I was born to lose

how so many take their good life for granted

when I never had the opportunity to choose

The sun will rise on a brand new day

though for me, it will be the same

I'll continue to find myself yearning

for a life that never came

This is an actual representation of how some of us feel about our lives. Sometimes I wonder exactly what are we searching for. The past doesn't matter, the future is uncertain and the present we have to ourselves, remains the same. Beautifully written poem!

Fascinating, absolutely fascinating. Everyone has their medium for opening up, and I find poetry to be the best means of doing so. I like what you did here and your end stanza was beautiful.
