Poetry in reflection

How life should be

Like a slate

Where you can wipe it off

When things make you feel bad

How life should be

Like the ocean

You absorb everything 

Without thinking of what toxics it include

How life should be

Like the sun

Always keep shining 

Even when nobody can see you

How life shouldn't be

Like a poet's

Always putting the feelings into words

But never being at the receiving end
