Bright on the Outside, Darkness Within

Hello, fellow NaijaWorlders. I’m new here, and I’d love to share my poem. Please read it and give me your honest feedback. It seems bright, but darkness flows. It seems joyful, but sadness lingers. It seems full, yet empty inside. People cry and weep for a better life. A troubled mind erupts like a volcano. Why, oh why, does poverty pain the poor and not the rich? The rich feel sorrow when they are humiliated, but what of the poor? Love should stop the strikes. Love has taken over the earth. Sorrows brought a truck to dump on my mind. It seems bright, but darkness flows.
