It'll be back around

Don't recoil

It'll be back around

Someone once told me they felt the world held no place for them

Will you believe me if I said I couldn’t do much for them?

Find a cohort, find friends, it’s not the end for you yet”

You are special because you were born to this world”, but they didn’t listen

So, they recoiled into their own comfort and shunned the world they lived in and couldn’t

stop the thoughts saying the world was their enemy so they committed. And the outside they resisted

Being alone with the self was enough evidently, but to me it was clear that they were afraid.

Afraid of gaining something, only to lose it again.

-

Life was difficult so they chose to recollect. That feeling of life sometimes slowly crept, but the fear dominated their minds in effect.

Is their choice correct, or should they face life and reflect? Am I intruding, or should I try to reconnect? I sat and I thought but then realised that life is

cyclical, and this is nothing new. Many have experienced this and pulled through the cloudy veil into the other side to pursue what the world has to offer.

Good follows the bad. The world is not clad in armour, we can all peak through its wonders.

Will we ever know our place in this world, maybe not. But I say let it all

come at you. Take it in and appreciate the value of all that it holds. And then go

back and appreciates the layers it folds into everything.

Around us is a world so magical and bold

Author's note: Just to clarify these are fictional characters, not based on real life, at least not my personal life. Of course I understand many have these kinds of feelings, which come in many forms and intensities.

    This is a great message, and a very cleverly constructed piece, right down to the internal rhymes. Well done, Mohammed!

  • I especially loved how the first words of each line form a sentence of their own. And yes, life definitely is cyclical

    Great message even if a fictional piece
