Brenda Biever Poet Free verse

What If

Maybe things don't happen for a reason. 
Maybe we're just grasping for ways to make sense of the chaos around us. 
Maybe we're giving meaning to things that have no meaning.
 Maybe we're clinging to hope so hard that we forget about reality.
What if we're wrong and nothing is meant to be?  
What if we're just lost souls wandering aimlessly, desperately seeking comfort from the notion that things will work out in the end, no matter what. 
What if we tricked ourselves into believing that everything will be OK  just so we don't have to face the reality that maybe it won't?

Susan Ashley September 6, 2020 at 7:02 PM Indeed, your poem is very deep, Brenda. A thought-provoking piece beautifully expressed. If we choose to believe in fate or destiny do we give up the willingness to accept the reality of 'what is' and abandon our concept of free will to influence 'what is'? Your brilliant poem will have me wondering about this for the rest of the evening :) Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Brenda Biever September 7, 2020 at 6:34 AM Thank you Susan.
