Rainbow

We're not living in a rainbow

Gotta give up your happiness

Something that you'll surely miss

We're not living in a rainbow

Life's full of broken promises

You love money, you're pennyless 

We're not living in a rainbow

Get used to the color grey

Haunting every hour of your night and day

We're not living in a rainbow

I know because I'm still looking for one

But that won't happen till I see the sun

Author's Note

Just having a bitter day and tired of not seeing rainbows when everyone else does

aww it'll get better. Just you wait. You don't ever find a rainbow till after the rain love :)
This is a reat poem, though. Like the repitition and the sourness of it (really appeals to the raging pessimist in me lol) And grey is my favorite color. I'd love to live in it and be haunted by it's shallow shades. Great write hunny.

Pessimism is like the sprinkles to poetry; it tastes like s**t; but it'll surely compliment cake.

Yes it can be hard to feel down and out when everyone else seems to be happy. But remember a lot of people wear masks that hides what they truly feel, perhaps they are not that happy at all...that's just how I see it at times. I like the poem, kinda reminds me of the song I wrote the other day lol

Great Job

I know the feeling. I love the way you used the word 'rainbow' for the happiness. It's a good metaphor (if that's what you call it). And the last line is absolutely gorgeous. You've done a good job here :)
