Reasons
A world full of contradictions
Unfolding life is randomly synchronistic
Reality is unreal and the truth is a lie
In the timeless time, the gentle monster roars with rage
And we make friends with our enemies
Hurting those we protect
We live to die, yet die to live
There is birth in death!
Sadness is full of joy
Hate, so filled with love
What is bad is good
As thunder claps in the sunshine
There is silence amidst all the noise
And chaos is in order
Waiting... we rush around
Looking for what we can't see
It is within our reach and beyond our grasp
And we can know what can't be known
It makes sense, yet its senseless
There is no reason for any of it
And a reason for all of it.

I love how this one captures the confusions of life. Thoughts of everyday desires to understand the impossible, yet knowing its there. I have greatly fallen for your use of contradictions! Im loving the set outs!

Thanks Jenna, the confusions and contradictions were how I saw life at the time. The layouts I know won't really make sense to a lot of people but that is the whole point, they wanted to be written that way. I have been advised to change some of my poems around before but I just can't do it, they have meaning to me and if I do that then they lose so much...

I totally agree. Changing a poem for the better understanding of someone else, is a murder for the emotions expressed in that poem. It will be a complete different poem all together. Mentaly_Unsound posted a forum on this. Editing your poetry. Alot of poets have posted on there, that they believe that changing their poems, affects the true meaning. So yes, I very much understand what you mean, I don't think your poetry needs touching, in my own opinion. I think it is amazing just the way it is. Truthful, from the heart, word for word. Excellant :)

Thank you Lisa. This was really the first poem I had written for a very long time, when I was at a point in my life where I knew things had to change. Every line in this piece has a story that goes with it, I was very happy to put it all together and glad that you think it is well done. Cheers!
