The world is dark
untill there is light.1
The song of a lark
and a life ending fight.2
There is death
and there is life.3
There is love
pain and strife.4
There is a world being torn down to shambles,
as she snuggles down to sleep.
There is a person out there laughing,
as he bows his head to weep.5
This world among us, I wonder,
is it good and kind or bad?
Do I deserve to be happy,
While they are clearly sad?6
But if I am sad as well,
and greet the world with a frown,
Who will stand before the world
to turn theirs upside down?7
Our lives may not be sunshine,
That would be pretty dull.
But the world is not made of crossbones.
It is made out of sparkles and skulls.8
So, we all know that life is not grand,
and may kick you down once and a while.
Just hold, to another, your hand.
And show to another your smile.
Author notes
Hey, This is the first poem I ever wrote (out of two). I have no idea why I did, nor where it came from, but just out of no where there is was, and now here it is. This is kind of the philosophy I like by now, although this was a long time ago, so it has eveloved over time. I hope you liked it, and I thank you for reading it.
