I didn't write this, I'm not a poet.
I have hardly read mote than 3 poens in my life.

Might be the worst poem you've read...

When life is hard and skies are gray, It feels like joy has gone away.

But deep inside each trying test, A hidden gift will show its best.

The struggle bites, it can feel rough,
But you grow strong through things so tough.
And as you climb, you start to see, The sweetness of adversity.

Its lessons bloom, its wisdom stays, And paints with light your future days.
For bitter turns to sweet, you’ll find,
And peace will fill your heart and mind.

Yesterday was my twin friends' birthday.
They are Con and Fay.

They look the same,
their thoughts no different.

I spent four weeks
choosing the best gifts for them.
I gave Con a novel of wisdom.
And Fay the same one.

Con threw the novel back at me,
shouting, "Garbage!"
Fay didn’t say a word, not even thanks—
just dropped my gift without a glance.


They are the same in everything—
even in the degree they hurt me.
