HolderOfTheDarkChalice

A man stands on his front porch
and see's the world around him
thinking how lucky he is to have
everything he has.

Strangers pass by a house seeing
a man standing there staring out
into his yard , they think he is sad
because all they see is the drug dealers
on the street corner , a hooker walking the
street.

He stands there and thinks back on when
he had it bad but now he lives somewhere
that has so many diferent things to offer
like a job or maybe even a place to put
up that swimming pool like he always wanted.

As the strangers drive by they see how
he stands there with a tear and they think
he wishes to be away from from all this trash
as they see it, then there gone.

As the sun goes down and the moon
rises he finaly walks back inside thanking
god for what he has and loves his life like
it could be his last day on earth.

Why must life be percieved so difrently?
life can be so much better for one but it
could be hell from somone elses point of view.

this poem is about how people see things
from my point of view an old shack by a lake
with nothing by a fishing hole and a few
cloths and some food is awesome , but for someone
else it looks like i am having problems.

in the end one persns happiness is anothers
nightmare if only poeple could see this..

comments and sugestions are welcomed

Yes, its true that we'll precieve things differently. We all like different things. And, I think we're all on different levels.

Like, someone who appreciates life. Has a higher sense of self.

And ,those who are looking for the next best thing. Those people who are looking for validation. They're looking for Approval.

While those who hate life... Have very little self worth. And they usually end up thinking nobody is worth anything.

I bounce between the first and third of those options... Maybe I really DO have bi-polar....lol.

A great poem!!! You've perfectly managed to show the different thoughts of these people... it's great because people can deffinetely lear something from this...
People have to learn to love what they have- only a person, who is able to just stand on his/her porch and enjoy the view, can be truly happy...

I relly, really like this poem and I will be waiting for more ^^
