Poignant comparisons.

Does your life compare to a box of chocolates,
a bowl of cherries or a walk in the park?
Or do you see it as an endless uphill climb.
a constant struggle maybe just a loosing war?
Are you forever giving in to others demands,
feeling insecure and often left in the dark?
Being taken advantage of when you’re feeling low.
All your emotions just dashed to the floor.
When you try to fit in to the world around you,
do you feel like a million piece jigsaw?
Never really being accepted always left in the box,
to gather dust with the lid firmly closed.
Love seems to avoid you at every turn,
false promises given then fade once more.
Is your life just like this can you honestly relate?
Then you’ll know exactly how I feel I suppose!

Hi, grandad,
Does your life compare to a box of chocolates,...? Well, my life certainly has a lot of chocolate in it (dark, of course), the cherries are in the frig as I write and it was just the other day that I took that walk in the park, albeit on snowshoes! Then, as fate would have it, came that uphill climb! I don't think anyone likes it when false promises given then fade! Thanks for sharing the Poignant comparisons.

Great use of Comparisons, Grandad--I'm sure many of us will fit-into one or more of them at one time or another.
Keep Writing!
Bev.
