Perspective

This poem has two sides. It follows the idea of whether "a glass is half-full or half-empty". The first thought that occurs to you is your state of mind.

The sky seemed beyond my reach,

Tinted blue I wondered with clueless eyes,

Times it showered and drenched me,

Times it fell upon me with more

Weight I could bear,

Even then

Still I was alive.

 

The sand on the beach sunk my foot in,

I struggled with great force,

Just when I thought now I’m free,

A huge wave gushed in,

I fell on my head,

Now again staring at the sky beyond my reach

In the hands of the monstrous sea,

Even then

Still I was alive.

 

I saw the two meet at a distance,

Arguing who was deeper.

They fought till both turned

Black from blue,

And left me in the dark to return home,

Even then

Still I was alive.

 

I walked back alone,

Now with nothing to stare at,

The world was black in every corner

I had lost myself.

Even then

Still I was alive.

A powerful poem.
"I walked back alone,
Now with nothing to stare at,
"The world was black in every corner
I had lost myself.
Even then
Still I was alive. "
The above lines. Left a lot for the reader to think about. Life is a teacher. We must find solid ground. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
