If you're absent during my struggle. Don't expect to be present during my success.


What if the sky wasn't blue,
only our eyes thought it were true?
What if ice wasn't cold,
but we believed what we're told?
What if fire wasn't hot,
we just live by what we're taught?
What if all of it's in our mind
and we're all living by these lies?

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Wonderful! What I love  about this your poem is that to me, it can be used in life. Almost everyone is living by the lies in this world, and doing what they're told by someone. Wonderful poem, like you are my friend! Keep on! ^_^ thank you, for sharing this!
