There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you--just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”
― Shel Silverstein

Life they say is full of good yet full of love. But as we all see day by day hour by hour there is pain, judgement, hate and underestimation.


Like a silvery winter. It is beautiful with its winding hills of shimmering snow, it's exuberant allure. But then there underneath the allure, magic and beauty is a cold cruel sharp pain.


Some find hope and joy in this world of ours and others find the sharp bitter pain this world can dish out.


Yet underneath that pain there is always a way to find the allure, beauty, joy, hope, and love.

It just might be hard to see.

A cool comparison poem of different perspectives. Very well written, i like your format (paragraphs) and how they are spilt up depending on topics, etc... In generally I like how you took a somewhat cliche topic and made the poem engaging and interesting.

Very good stuff=) check my poems out? (: Write on!
