Contrast

Contrast

A Poem by Madi

Good Times keep me going


Good

it’s relative

a good thing to one person

could be a bad thing to someone else

all it really is though is happiness

what makes you happy?

whether its the warmth of a crackling fire

the cool refreshing feeling of waves rushing over you

that’s what a good time is to me

whatever gives that person a feeling in their stomach

not of butterflies or fear

but of hope lightness

warmth

happiness


Bad

we can not judge one person’s bad on another person’s bad

it is yet again all relative

if no one has died in your family and then your mother dies

or if a friendship ends that you wanted to keep

they both strike almost a fear in us

one of hopelessness

they're bumps in the road on our journey through life

they give us pain

but without them how would we know we were having a good time?

they give us strength

wisdom

perspective
