The World Is Not Blind At All

Written by: Mark Francis G. Ng
Note: One of the motivational poems I have written.

***

The light of day may be faint to you
And the winds may not be as cheerful
The clouds may be gray and make you blue
E’en when birds do sing in ways so blissful.

You sit and watch the sky with awe
Yet with dolorous eyes you wonder
If the rest of the world could see your flaw
Like the ways you feel and ponder.

Pity is the only emotion you could muster
Despite the many wondrous things that surround
You and your world, your heart keeps falling faster
And you feel the choruses cease making their sounds.

Have it your way, but do reconsider
If what you think is true
Then how could you possibly neglect and not utter
The things that bring joy to you?

Have your sorrows hidden the beauteous
World that you have once seen and knew?
Of the tenderness she has caressed you with
Like the breeze that comes out of the blue.

If you feel that the world closes in on you
Think twice, your thoughts may be wrong
It always has its doors open
Ready to sing you its festive songs.

Stand straight and face your fears
Do not let them cloud your judgment
Use anger and hate you must not
They shall only add to your unease and torment.

Hold on to yourself like the way you did
When there was nothing but joy and love
Trust in your faith and unworthy thoughts you should rid
Put your loyalties to the one you endear above.

The world has its own eyes
But often closes them as it opts to do
So that you’ll learn to see things
In your own point of view.

Then shall thee value thy trust in thyself
Whenever you stumble and fall
Learn to rise up again and only then shall you fathom
That the world is not blind at all.
