Terrible Things

It’s a terrible thing

To feel nothing, but everything.

To love, but not be loved.

To be breathing, yet drowning.

 

It’s a terrible thing

To speak and not be heard.

To feel useless, but so used.

To give yet never receive.

 

It’s a terrible thing

To save, and never be saved.

To be surrounded, yet so alone.

To be alive, but not live.

 

Life is just a terrible thing.

It's a terrible thing
To listen and not be heard,
Feeling all but rest assured,
Why are people so absurd?

Haha!

I like the tempo of this poem - it's contagious! Bravo! :D

You're too kind! That's a nice line you have there! You're a natural at this. Haha.
