Written Life

Gazing at the stars at night
Imagining what it would be like
If I only had the power to write my future
Just how words in a poem are written as a story
Never facing the hatred and aggression of the world
Never shedding a tear in my eyes
Surely to never face disappointment
Or lies in life

Is this idea such a glory
Or destruction in lies
For it has given all the positive
and never challenged us in a fight
For we never will suffer like they are now
Living life in glory 
Having and infinite possibility 
with no bleeding tears
and cries

Would this feeling be so natural 
Presuming our death and rebirth
Or is it a fantasy giving us much worse

So would you rather live a story
Or have everything pass
With unexpected chapters 
And never ending gasps

So ask yourself this question
Having your will in mystery 
And living your life at hands
Without a recant

Wow what a thought provoking poem. Outstanding writing Carolina. If you delete your poem from PoetrySoup you can not get it back from here. I hope you printed it out or saved it on your computer. If you saved it then all you have to do is just add it back . Love, Carol
