Is It Well? (Reverse Poem)
September 28, 2016
It seems real now
All that anyone talks about
Is the darkness,
Hidden deep in the depths of our souls
It’s never as it seems, although
Light is everywhere
It cannot be true that
The murky water that envelops us all
There is no escaping
No.
There is a way out
There is hope
Most overlook and say
Is it well?
It is well

This piece is a reverse poem. The first step to reading this poem is to read it like normal english (Left to Right, Top to Bottom). After you read this piece like that, you are supposed to read it in reverse (Left to Right, Bottom to Top).
This piece was inspired by my creative writing club that I attended. We spoke about poetry as well as finding a deeper meaning. I also saw an example of this on social media and wanted to give it a try. Although very complicated to write, I had fun! I also don't mind if you comment and give feedback! :D
