I Love Poems
I LOVE THIS POEM 💗
"Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don't try to convince me that
There's something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don't last.
And it's not true that
It's all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one's surroundings are good
It's not true that good exists
I'm sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It's all beyond my control
And you'll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a good day."
But when you read the lines in reverse order, something very different happens.
Here's the poem in reverse order.

What a great reminder that so much of happiness is about how we react to the things we can't control.
