Untitled Poem

by Mephy (COPYRIGHT ME)

Would you rather be blinded

And ruin your sight

Would you rather see darkness

Or would you rather see light

When you gaze for a bit

The light has appeal

But if you look for too long

Your eyes cannot heal

While the darkness is frightening

You learn to feel fear

As you wait in the sadness

You see all through your tears

You see all the darkness

As your eyes find the light

You cherish the fleating

You cherish the night

[kal413]

Pretty good for free verse, you did have a couple rhymes but not really much meter.

As far as the poem itself, it's not entirely emo. You do have elements that foreshadow that something could be better, but you have learned to live in this situation. "You cherish the night" That can be either through acceptance or literal cherish.

The second stanza really speaks to me, because it seems like the argument for "ignorance is bliss"

It's like, if you look at the light for a little while (know a little), you'll be better off and feel better than looking for too long (know a lot), which would ruin you, much like certain knowledge.

Overall, I like it. Good job!
