The Awful Truth

Happiness is futile
Love is fake
Trust is forgotten
Life is mostly take

Pain is real
Heartache a truth
Loss a sad fact
Faith like a broken tooth

Irony is everywhere
It's at every turn
Behind the honesty we say
is a lie that we should burn

true but very pessimistic is suggest a line at the end like "but there is always hope"

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
