Why Do Things Never Go the Way You Plan?
Why Do Things Never Go the Way You Plan?
Q. Why do things never go the way you plan?
A. Because when you plan, God laughs.

Why is my life so unfair?
One moment all seems fine,
Then you’re hit with deep despair.
Shit seems to happen all the time.
≅ ≅ ≅ ≅
This year has been a roller coaster,
Full of constant ups and downs.
You never know what’s coming next,
Be it laughter, tears, or frowns.
≅ ≅ ≅ ≅
Too many of my friends have died,
Or been through hell on earth.
To help other people we have tried,
Is this karma or destined from birth?
≅ ≅ ≅ ≅
How can one man change the world
When everything seems so out of control?
It doesn’t matter what unfurls,
Pain, despair, and chaos are on a roll.
≅ ≅ ≅ ≅
Just chill-out and take what comes
Is wise advice I’d like to take.
But that is easier said than done
When most people are so fake.

I apologize for using TCE for this rant. Life has been throwing me a few curve balls lately and I just needed to get it off my chest. I am sure things will improve and my next post will be much more positive and uplifting. Thanks for reading anyway.

Thanks Phyllis, your comment has disappeared, however.
Two things I know… 1/ the hard bits are about needing to learn something. 2/ We are never given more than we can handle. The hard bits are followed by good bits, we just have to be patient. It’s good to vent. Take care.
Hey, Tony. Thanks for the encouragement and reminder of that scripture..he’ll never give us more than we can bear. I know I just have to hang in there and things will improve.. It has just been one challenge after another in the last two months. I must be tough 🙂
Oh John, this so resonates for me. I’ve had a hellish year and much of what you speak is so true. What else I would say is, don’t apologize for writing from your heart. That is the blessing of poetry. It is a good and common vehicle for laments. My prayers are with you.
Thank you for your kind comment, Lori. I am sorry that you have had a similar year, and I greatly appreciate your prayers. I pray there is only good ahead for you too.
