A letter to life (a poem). by Nobody: 12:37pm On Jan 01, 2013
Dear life
what do I think of you
Dear life
here is a thing or two

sometimes you are grey
sometimes you are flowers
sometimes you are gay
sometimes you are sour
sometimes you are dark
sometimes you are beauty
sometimes you are sharks
sometimes you are puppies

sometimes you are so unfair
you treat some so well while for others you do not care
sometimes when I think of you I cry
the way you coldly watch justice die

sometimes you are heaven in disguise
the joy you bring to many, it bursts out from their eyes
oh how beautiful you look then
oh how praised you are by men

sometimes you are greedy
sometimes you are generous
sometimes you are witty
sometimes ridiculous
sometimes you are wicked
sometimes you are kind
sometimes you are lonely
sometimes you don't mind

sometimes you are weak
I see cowardice in your eyes
sometimes you are strong
your courage is my great pride
sometimes you are old
you've seen so much already
sometimes you are young
full of vibrance and purity

sometimes I want to leave you
oh how some nights I desperately wish to
yet some nights I yearn that we make love forever
some nights you are my beautiful lover

some people lust after others
from you some people flee
but my love I will do neither
for you are no different from me

inurmind: Hi, this is my first time posting here, I would really love reviews.
you want reviews??, here's mine,,
you wrote on life like you know a thing or two
Actually, it's up to three,
your ryhmes can keep life nodding to the songs you bring
And it kept me nodding for moments
thinking it was epic
At the end I hated you for writing this
for you could have shown what life really is if you kept writting,,
and I was anxious to know
But now I know its all inurmind
as it's all in us....great piece

Thank you, I also sincerely think I could have done better with it. The inspiration came during new years eve, when everyone was busy celebrating and partying I was busy reflecting and pouring it all down. I wasn't celebrating the year, just in a world of my own, celebrating something I can't really define.
Unfortunately it came down in a splatter, here and there, it was all really hard to organise afterwards and when I was done I wasn't satisfied with it. But I was quite blank and didn't know what to do with it.
Thats a reason why I'm interested in people pointing out its flaws.
