Even if your life is hard <br />Even if your face is scarred <br />Even if the road is rough <br />Even if your meat is tough <br /> <br />Even if your friends aren’t true <br />Even if you feel so blue <br />Even if you are confused <br />Even if you always lose <br /> <br />Find some laughter in the pain <br />Chortle through the endless rain <br />Don’t be afraid to laugh about <br />Your constant feeling of self doubt <br /> <br />You can endlessly be amused <br />By the fact you always lose <br />And then you’ll never lose again <br />You’ve forged gold ingots from the pain <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2007)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/even-if-humour/
