Not Often

Not often are we given blessings

Sometimes they are more of a curse

Sometimes happiness becomes grief

And it'll fester inside us, something worse

Not often are we given pleasures

For sometimes they become pain 

It tears us apart from the inside out

It can make us think we are insane

Not often are we given Love

Sometimes we face this life alone

We smile and hide behind a false mask

But it will show how much we have grown
