Pure and clean.
Soft and sweet.
Happy and lovely.
Light-hearted and free.
Caught and crushed.
Fierce and determined.
Angry and scornful.
Sad and frustrated.
What is the use, anyway,
Hoping for the best,
But getting the worst?
Trying to stay above the fray?
To be gentle and joyful,
Fun and funny,
Witty and wise?
To struggle every day?
If only they cared.
If only they could.
If only they tried.
If only they would.
So what is next?
Another day,
And another roll of the dice.
Crap shoot once again.
