The End.

I'm frustrated that life is so capricious.

When one thing occurs rightly

 The way I want

Why does another pillar

Fall so soon?

 

When one day bring on

Beautiful memories

Must it be balanced

With gloom?

 

One success

One failure

A neutral result

Will it be just "average" until the end?

 

Or can you tell me why

My efforts die

Passed on to others

Left to make amends

 

It's not meant to be this way

I've heard those lines far too many times

 

From prodigy to pauper

And below that

What's a fail now and then

When I've turned my back on a world

To back out of another dead end 

Author's Note

Have mercy on it?

A. If life wasn't capricious, then there'd be no point to existence. There'd be absolutely NO point in living, because we'd be living in John Calvin's predestination heaven.
There's a reason for that, and it's so that we are neither happy, nor sad, simply content with our lives, and we know the extremes of each. Probably.
Other than that, short, simple, sweet, and thought worthy.

I feel you there..... I guess there is always a balance that leaves us somehow stuck in the middle every time. I really dig your language. who says pauper anymore? I love when people use looked over words. Like capricious..

I read this because I felt it had a good meaning. I was not disappointed, and I am a ponderer of life my self. Constantly do I search out new ideas in which make sense to me about life. So reading this I can say that this was indeed a good write.
