Alas! This Is Not What I Thought Life Was Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley

And life has full packs of surprises. A nice poem,10

Of calm endurance my weak breast I armed, To bear scorn, fear, and hate, a woful mass! Beauty, beauty and beauty.

Life is filled with drama, action, comedy, tragedy and what not.

An introspective soliloquy about life and expectations from it and disillusionment.

A poem of suffering, great write.

You cannot fight hate with hate. The only way to fight hate us with love. That's the problem with this hate filled world.

'nor did I hope to pass Untouched by suffering' - a realistic approach towards understanding life. Loved it!

Alas! this is not what I thought life was! ! ! - started this poem with a pessimistic voice! whatever, it's beautiful poem; life is life and the living existence for this world is needful cause of its expeditious presence; this world and life is not harmful to anyone but we, the people when use our brain in the obnoxious ways then this world becomes dangerous to live and this life gives bitter experiences! ! !
