pain vs. hope – reverso poem
nothing will ever change
so I can’t keep believing that
it will get better with time
and
my wounds will heal
because I’ve seen firsthand, it’s not true. the world is a terrible place
and it’s foolish to believe
otherwise.
I have to tell myself
nothing matters
because it would mean that
I don’t have to care
it’s not true that
nothing lasts forever
because
I know
pain
is stronger than
hope
Now read the lines from bottom to top.
hope
is stronger than
pain
I know
because
nothing lasts forever
it’s not true that
I don’t have to care
because it would mean that
nothing matters.
I have to tell myself
otherwise.
and it’s foolish to believe
the world is a terrible place
because I’ve seen firsthand, it’s not true. my wounds will heal
and
it will get better with time
so I can’t keep believing that
nothing will ever change
