Every joyful moment is reciprocated by a desperate and lonely thought.

Force it out of you mind, shove it all aside.

If we all changed to the lifestyle you're suggesting, what would be the end result?

Would we be perfect, plastic hiding our grief in a shell of a conscience until it bursts at the seams?

Or would we be able to deny our frstration entrance and live a perfect existance.

Chemical cage, freated around ourselves.

There is a balance, negativity needs to exist, pain needs to persist otherwise the moments of joy we experience would lose their relevance. The creation is just a veil covering your self-destruction.

What a daring and profound last line. It is quite a statement to make, but in some respects, true. Maybe just not everything.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. ©
