You would hate me

You would hate me if I say,

Life ain’t an easy affair.

If I remind you of the dull clouds,

That before the rain the sky must wear.

That for living the morning you cannot skip the night,

And a river becomes even more gorgeous with each and every bight.

You would hate me if I say,

Everything has its own time.

If I try to make you believe,

That not all poems rhyme.

You will never trust me if I tell you,

Dark times test you like a bait.

So I would keep on dancing to the tune of,

Everything happens for a reason and that’s great.
