Sonnet 028



Sonnet 028

Life is not about pursuing happiness
It’s dealing with survival matters:
Troubles, problems, you fix or you endure
In this eternal mess to somehow gain momentary rest
Daytime comes with struggles and labors
The usual business and routine shows
Those fighters and gamers urge you on
So you rehearse your lines, and try not to be a victim
Night comes with your silent reflection
Your dream starts to self-construct
After your doors shut out the world
That’s when loneliness wraps around you
I fear the daylight, men hunt in those hours
I hate the nights, I tremble and I wait alone
