Life

beautiful skies 
eluminate my eyes
sun beaming down 
on my back and thighs
as i write this poem
i think to myself
letting every word flow
i feel locked in a cell
a cell so small
so enriched with enclosure
happiness is an issue 
im looking for a motive
i see the grass
green but not perfect
the same as my life
my mistakes are my potions
i picture new beginnings
i dream things get better
living is an obstacle
people try to be settled
pretending everythings okay
hoping things will change
racing to be the best
tripping up over our ways

This is certainly a reality poem. It flows well and cast images one should consider in life. Certainly, there is a way one should walk in love and grace. I like the essence of the poem. Great job and welcome to Poetry Soup! ~Joseph
