This feeling of life passing me is back
Makes me feel like I'm on the wrong track.

Everyone has a life they are living
Makes me think: is it worth all the giving?

Am I the one who has to fade away?
Giving myself is a price I must pay.

Destined to be a living sacrifice
Wandering between the naughty and the nice.

No big moment stands out from the past year
Neither moments of joy, anger or fear.

Rather the moments that I think are sweet
Feeling the sea sand covering my feet.

Others rush their lives, but I take it slow
Making memories, leaving a warm glow.

I don't follow the footsteps of a fail
Instead I make my own and leave a trail.

Those grey skies don't mirror what I'm feeling
My face is blank but my heart is smiling.

This is the first poem I wrote ^^, It's the one that got me addicted to poetry, I've been writing ever since.

It's written in iambic pentameter - that is, ten syllables in every line, like Shakespeare wrote his sonnets ♡

As part of a Found Poetry: Titles as Art project used in the group, #TheTitlePage, I've used the title of this lovely deviation in a poem here:

A Darker Side of Love
