Born to lose

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through endless days of even the murkiest of haze

I shall prevail, let it be told I can’t be sold, through

wisdom I now unveil.

 

I was a giver with too many takers, becoming hollow

inside, all became fakers that spanned many acres,

expecting love and hate to collide.

 

If love is blind it would be harder to find a direction

in which to choose, as for me I can clearly see that

most of us were born to lose.

 

If I seem a bit dreary and a just a tad leery, my advice

to you is this, leave it alone then write it in stone, the

numbers are hard to dismiss.

A very sorrowful, bitter poem, where we have faith and lose faith, in love. We are not born to lose, although some days it would feel this way, and you say you will come through, showing strength, and you are strong! Some times being down in life makes us down on ourselves, and what we see going on around us............you have written a powerful piece every one has felt at some point.

Perfect music for this poem. I'm feelin' ya on this one, to be sure Dollink. So well put, the anxiety, the experiences, the giving freely only to be taken. Hearts like ours that love truly madly deeply are often left alone wondering. But I'll take the truly , madly, deeply over the drone of normalcy any day of the week.

Very well done!

this is a wonderful poem, easy to relate to, but there is something about the language that makes it hard to follow... "If love is blind it would be harder to find a direction" is somewhat a contradiction. but the theme is great, and your talent "is hard to dismiss". :)

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

you have prevailed~ multifaceted poetic imbued with solid passion~
