Why is it that things go awry
At times when we are happy
And content, prosperous, self satiated beings
Rational in thought and judgement
I gave my wrath to a parent
Who did not know
What to do with something
That he had neither contributed to nor understood
I gave my trust to a BFF
Who did not know
What to do with something
That she neither keep nor could break
I gave my dubiousness to a friend
Who did not know
What to do with something
That she neither had instigated nor had control over
I gave my heart to a man
Who did not know
What to do with something
That he neither desired nor could throw away
But most of all..
I gave my injustice to my soul
Wallowing in self pity
And indulgent in sadness
Not knowing the severity of my crime!

wowww !! you have so much inside of you !!!
you have the power of expression. I love the way in which you have highlighted the irony ...
keep it going we love your work !!!
Great argument ; love the last lines of each verse for that is genuinely us humans - full of contradiction.
The last verse was a brilliant cocktail of pathos and irony.
Special mention : the use of the words 'dubiousness', 'wallowing' and 'crime'.
Keep at it !
