What If? (Sad) Poem by Poet of the River

What If? (Sad)

Rating: 5.0


What if I stand and start to fall?
What if I start walking and hit a wall?
What if tears fall from the sky instead of rain?
What if those warm summer days never came?
What if every truth was hidden by a lie?
What if when I laugh, I start to cry?
What if the sky turns grey instead of blue.
What if all these things were to happen...
What if they did...?
And if they did, what would you do?

A very pensive and sombre work expressing great unease and anxiety in a world that seems to be rapidly falling apart, the great part is the contradiction between your first line and the second creating a sence of pessimism in which all actions seemed eternally doomed. It’s a great work, but I feel that if the sky was blue, you would be eternally thinking about the grey that is hidden. Try to Steal a rainbow from the dark

Good poem and good use of allegory. People are made to endure any hardship that comes in their lives. If any of this would happen, I would just tell myself be patient and soon everything will come to pass :)) Thank you for sharing
