No Bliss

A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 05/05/2013

How come it always turns out like this
all of life’s pain and none of the bliss

With so many people all around me
I seem to always stay relationship free

With each chance that I take
it seems as if my heart will break

Love comes on like a rushing flood
then again I am squished into the mud

Why me, someone who is kind and sweet
I don’t have the desire in this life to compete

So I back down and do not push at all
picking myself up alone to stand tall

My life seems again to complicate
I don’t want to hesitate

So I push forward without a fight
and then stay alone every night

Trying to pick up once again the pieces of me
before another round comes in again you see

How come it always turns out like this
all of life’s pain and none of life’s bliss
