    Damn is this it?

    Damn is this it?
    Are we living just to exist?
    You break your back
    working day after day,
    cause the mail just came
    and there's bills to pay.
    Try to live within your means
    but damn, don't you deserve nice things?
    isn't that the American dream?
    You want the house and the cars,
    with a family, and the pickett fence
    around the yard.
    So you spend all your life
    searching for that "one" to love
    then you think you've found it
    and now your addicted
    cause that shit is like a drug.
    But when you come down off your high
    you suddenaly realize,
    they didn't feel the same
    all that shit that they said
    was just part of their game.
    They went and flushed
    all your dreams down the drain,
    now your heart is broke
    and you feel all alone.
    You can't confide in your "friends"
    cause they feed off your pain
    So you sit and you wait
    but you never got no rainbow
    at the end of your rain.

    Life can be hard at times and you have revealed that very well with great imagery in this poem but don't lose faith.There is a heavenly father that loves all of us and though we can't see it he is in control of everything in our life and will make it all work out for those,who trust him and pray to him for strength and guidance.As it says in the bible:this too will pass and better days will come.

    Great poem! Reality of life hits home to hard to often. Keep your head up and may you be blessed.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
