TheWritingInstrument

Today was the absolute worst day ever

And don't try to convince me that

There's something good in everyday 

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness doesn't shine through once and a while

Satisfaction and happiness don't last 

And it's not true that

It's all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be obtained 

Only if one's surroundings are good

It's not true if good exists

I'm sure you can agree that

The reality 

Creates

My attitude

It's all beyond my control 

And you'll never in a million years hear me say that

Today was a good day.

    Thank you for sharing ANGEL. This is an unusual poem because when one treats line 21 as the opening line and read it backwards it sends out a different VIBE. Reading it normally the message is ~ TODAY is my worst day ~ The World is an evil place ~ Happiness doesn't last ~ It's all beyond my control ~ You'll never hear me say "Today was a good day". A message of GLOOM & DOOM ! When you reverse it the opening line TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY ~ very positive start ! You qualify it in lines 2 & 3 (20 & 19) and then in line 10 (working upwards) you state TRUE HAPPINESS CAN BE OBTAINED ! AMEN ! It's all positive up to line 15 (working upwards) I think that line should read SOME GOODNESS "DOES" SHINE THROUGH ONCE IN A WHILE (it makes more sense that way forwards and backwards ?) The next lines read positively and I like the ending ! There's something good in every day ~ And don't try to convince me that ~ Today was the absolute worst day ever ! You are more clever than you know ~ an awesome poem ~ when analysed ! Love it ~ Love BRIAN Please check my poem DECISIONS ~ Thanks B

    I think this is a wonderful way of saying that everything changes depending on point of view and that we all construct our own reality. Great idea, thank you for sharing.
