A poem.

Image via Wikipedia

It’s alright to cry sometimes in life,

From the build-up of pain, stress, and strife.

Life that constantly changes with the seasons,

Everything really does happen for a reason.

Teach yourself how to change devastation into motivation,

Converting my pain into inspiration.

I write and write all day,

Yet these emotions still won’t go away.

My journey is set like a fish with a hook,

Because this is my life, my story, my book.

    This is a beautiful and heartfelt poem. Writing does help when it comes to expressing your emotions. I like the line of converting devastation with motivation and turning your pain into inspiration. Writing keeps you busy most of all. The pain will never go away totally, but you will heal in time. Keep writing and publishing girl! Great job.

    Everything does indeed change, from season to season and moment to moment, nothing remains the same. I hope your book of life will be a long one.

    I love these lines

    \\\”Teach yourself how to change devastation into motivation,

    Everyone has a sad story to tell and the sadness and pain keeps us chained within those bad memories. It\\\’s struggling to move out of those devastating times of our lives that\\\’s been in the past. That\\\’s what matters.

    Well done. A fish with a hook despite of the hardship crafted a book. Life could be a fishy business but it’s our life indeed and your life’s book will unfold the way you live it. You can write your book my friend as long as you believe.
