Literature Text

Once you’ve found the light

You’ll come to  realize just why you were given sight


But stare too long, you might go blind

To the problems of others, and then you’ll find


The darkness that’s there to balance you out

You’ll find your reason to scream, to stand, to shout


Because you need to feel

Because life is real


Someone will always be there

But please remember that life isn’t fair


And sometimes, you need to be that someone waiting

To lift up the fallen who are hating


The lack of balance in their tightrope walking act called life

But unhappiness doesn’t always come with only strife


Sometimes the ones who are the richest of the world need someone to share with, to love

To open their eyes to the smaller blessings, things just as simple as the wings on a dove


So don’t let moments pass you by

Revel in the peace and when sorrow comes around, let out a sigh


A sigh to let out the grief that comes through the years

A sigh that comes with the realization that you’ve faced these fears


Before

And you can do it once more


Dark and light can go together in harmony

Like how you need both bass and melody to create a symphony


You just need to know that you can be in control

Learn to appreciate your experience, both good and bad, as a whole


And if you need to, don’t feel ashamed, just cry

But remember that sooner or later you need to get back up and try


Again

So good luck, my friend
A rhyming couplet poem I wrote for school. I may be turning it into a concrete poem, if anyone's interested in seeing that. 
:iconslideswitched: suggested that I should post some poetry, so here you go Slidey.

It's all in how you read it, you see it, you use it.
