Poem - Life's a Bitch!
Life's a Bitch - Anup R
Life's a bitch
Just one big sales pitch
Perceived abilities gets one hired
But very soon, one gets tired
Of living up to great expectations
& handling the daily trials and frustrations
Delivering one's best gets one no fame no acclaim
Coz' it was only expected
And anything remotely 'average' is not accepted
they say - Surely compalcency is to blame!
Can't they see
what life's become for me?
overexpectations
sucking the life outta me?
Cynicism raises its ugly head everyday
Doesn't listen to reason or anything that I say
It wants me to break free
It wants me to run away
But I'm down with it
I know this too will pass
I'm the one who raised the bar
I'm the one aiming to be a star
No success without some sorrow
or without sweat at the brow
So I'm gonna press on for some more time
I know I'll soon find my rhyme
I love my Life!
Though Life's a Bitch!
One looong sales pitch!

"No success without some sorrow
or without aweat at the brow"...
Very true. Though life can be a 'bitch' at times but no one said it's going to be easy. Only after difficult times will things get a little easier.
Love the angst in the poem. I tend to write angst as well... it helps to keep my feelings checked. Lol!
Take care and God bless!
