Untitled Poem

---

Isn't it funny when you think
you have everyone around you
but no one when you are troubled
and don't know what to do.
Isn't it funny when they say 'I'm here
to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on'
but when you go looking who's there
No one, just simply no one
There's only yourself, all alone
so you have to be strong
Cause when you've got kids and troubles
the days can be oh, so long
but at the end of the day
just simply sit and rest
close your eyes, and say a prayer
after all, God knows what is best.
Your troubles seem to go away
Your strength regained to live tomorrow
forget your troubles, they'll be sorted
forget your despair, and sorrow
think about you kids and their lives
and simply live for each other
for the love and bond between you
is the strength and life for one another.
