[hometext] => I had to write this for my english honors project. For those who have read "Brave New World" thats what its for. I truly believe it. Please leave a comment. Thanx.
[bodytext] => A tear runs slowly,
Down a soft wet cheek. A flower wilts, No longer at its peek. A small child wails, From the Sadness of life. Its makes one start to wonder, Why we’re forced to live this strife. And then you soon remember. Then you start to smile. For one cannot know happiness Without going through a trial. One would not know how to smile Without learning how to frown. One cannot truly giggle, Without having a tear falling down. If one never learns, What its like to cry How can they ever learn How to smile, how to try? Without going through hardship, Without learning what is fear. You will never become stronger, You will never hold what's dear. Cuz, for every tear that leaves your face, For every frown you express. You get a step towards happiness, And learn to deal with stress And if you take away those trials, And you take away the pain. Then the smile you give isnt happiness, And that giggle is in vain. Its like, how can you know heat, If you’ve never had the cold. How can you know young If you’ve never seen the old. How can you be happy, Without ever being sad. How can you be at peace, Without ever getting mad. You cannot force happiness, Nor take it from a pill. Its something that you work for, Its something you must feel. So I am left stuck wondering, I just don’t understand. Why one tries so hard to escape the trials, And still a smile they demand.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
