Poetry / Reality
How do you deal with a harsh reality?
Do you answer it back with cruel brutality,
As you are faced with technicalities,
From certain rationalities.
Do you swim across the seven seas,
Dreaming of what your life could be,
Do you work by yourself,
Wondering about no one else,
But write down poems that are heart felt,
As the church rings its bells.
Or is it about the time you fell,
Tried to pick yourself up but failed?
Yet, pressed on after defeat,
As you worked,
Day and night,
Trying not to lose hope,
Trying not to give up the fight,
As terrorism gives you a fright,
Striving for the good things in life,
Hoping that, one day, your days will be bright,
As your dreams put you to sleep at night,
While you thoughts soar and keep you hype,
Are you ready to face this harsh reality?
With all the penetration,
Which leads to separation,
With the distinct notation,
That will be the proclamation that this certain situation,
This certain reality will receive,
Do not be deceived,
As you walk this cold earth,
While your feet drag in the dirt,
As you ask Mother Earth,
Why?
Why me,
Why do I have to deal with this harsh reality,
Why wasn’t the cash given to me,
Why wasn’t I fully prepared with the knowledge to think,
But as I begin to wonder,
As the earth grows deeper with thunder,
As the government of our society plunders,
How will you deal with this harsh reality?
Don’t get me wrong,
I have dealt with this harsh reality for too long,
But dealing with it has made me strong,
Just in case something goes wrong,
I’ll have the will to be strong.

“How do you face an harsh reality?”
a harsh reality* you seem to repeat this mistake over and over again, just make sure you proofread it next time, i know sometimes i’m writing and i just don’t feel like proofreading it cause we think it’s fine, but after you finish a piece try laying it down for a little bit, go relax do some…..stuff i dunno whatever it is that you do and just pick it up later that day or week and proofread it. it’ll help out a lot believe me.
“Or ones that are* dealt with a belt,”
“With all the penetration,
Which leads to separation,
With the distinct notation,
That will be the proclamation that this certain situation,
This certain reality will receive,
Do not be deceived,
As you walk this cold earth,
While your feet drag in the muddy dirt,”
i am absolutely in love with this part of the poem. but the end just seems to get too teen angsty and cliche, but it shows that you have a knack for creativity and with practice you could write very well.
