Death

Death

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

Life is more beautiful knowing that we’ve taken a loan on death
Even light is treasured more when there’s darkness
The sunshine appears after we’ve passed through the storm
Life receives injuries from us and
is lonely because of the wind and
We want to be right
but we're always wrong
Were we born to be wrong?
Is life something like that?

In the end, for our whole lives, we don’t know what tomorrow will be
The people I thought were on my side can change and become vicious
like folding paper, a problem that ends if we go have relationships
In a moment he can be sneering at me from the other side
It’s just the same, there’s no need to get mad
Some parents don’t have children when they stand in front of money

We have to set it ablaze because the world is too cold
so nobody can know, rather than doing me
at times we’re right, I don’t know if there’ll be a time when it doesn’t seem wrong
but the thing that we all learned at some point was how
to step on someone, to catch them, to erase them, to hate them

Thanks! It just was my thoughts on what death is!
Powerful words written.
'Life is more beautiful knowing that we’ve taken a loan on death
Even light is treasured more when there’s darkness

The above lines. Real and raw words. This is what poetry should be. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you very much! Glad you liked the subject!
I love the opening section to your poem. Life is beautiful knowing that we've taken a loan death. Even light is treasure more when there's darkness. The sunshine appears after we've passed through the storm. It gives hope meaning and true understanding of living a life lived.

And your poem gets darker and sadder. As you look deeper into the understanding of your storms. And why you feel betrail, hurt and anger and rage. At the ones who hurt you. But hate solves nothing. Just causes wars and breeds unhappiness and sadness and bitterness. Learning to move on. And leave that part of your life behind. And take hold of the new life you have now. And feel blessed.

Thanks very much! I am glad you liked the meaning of the poem.
I think you're trying to explain too much.
Less wording and more showing might help. (show don't tell)

The theme of the poem is death
yet by the end of the poem you seem to go off topic.
