House of cards

House of cards

A Poem by Rida Sarwar

When I'm alone someone whispers 'don't lose hope, hold on a little longer'
when I'm happy someone burns and its their favor that everything gets ruined 
the sunlight keeps on dancing around reminding me 
that no matter what comes in your path find your way thorough it 
All I don't know is why old times seem like coming back for one more glimpse
 and shatter me on the dirt
what did I do that things went wrong?
what do I say that words seem strong?
broken promises and fake laughter
they don't realize when I blink it away
and I'm shocked and amused how cold world is
 and how I imagined myself to be so ruthless
When I'm nothing more than a house of cards..

"All I don't know is why old times seem like coming back for one more glimpse
and shatter me on the dirt"
I really like this line. It's the opposite of the well used "all i know is.." line. Its obvious contrast to everyday life makes it sound just that much better. I really enjoyed the entire piece, but that line really sat well with me.
