Poems of Reflection - 6. Chapter 6 Deep Down

Deep down, there’s a sadness no one will ever know
There’s also frustration mixed with happiness
It’s a shame to no one will ever know the real you
It’s a shame that you don’t even know the real you
How do you figure it out? Is it even possible?

It’s shocking how similar we all are
Though it’s just as shocking
We’re completely different, so can we ever agree?
What’s to agree upon when it all ends
Sometimes in the worst possible way

Would've been better off leaving it be
But we choose to give one another the benefit
Now we try to stay out of each others’ business
Even when it means it could possibly save a life
Is this the realization we’ve been avoiding?

It’ll take more than meditating and having support
Though it’s great to have assistance
At some point you have to stand on your own
How much are you willing to go through?
To hell and back to achieve the real you?
Look deep down

These are some very sage words. We are all alike, and we will hardly ever scratch the surface of just how much. I guess what's important is that we keep reaching out to make real, honest, truthful connections with others. The internet is no help in this, sadly, as the real them is not the one they chose to portray online.

Thanks for posting this

Examination; deep, thorough self-reflection, seems increasingly alien to the internet age. We are to allow ourselves to be subsumed into the ever-quickening cycles of gossip and outrage, with all our self definition conveniently pre-chosen for us. Thank you for posting this thought provoking poem.

Reaching out and making connections is truly a lifeline. If only we would make the effort to try to understand and know each other...maybe then we could celebrate our differences instead of condemning each other for them. It only takes a call, a text, an email to let someone know we care... If only we would make the effort, the first move....
