Great rhyming scheme
Felt very enjoyable to read

Could you share your inspiration and idea behind this poem

[cold garnet]

just a dare from a friend

she asked me to start each line with "why" and "is" simultaneously xd

but i guess my inspos are from my real life experiences

[arctic shore]

If all words were true, how would you know if anything was true
Maybe it doesn't even matter if it was a lie if every truth can bend ,
Would even that truth mend
Would you still say the truth if it breaks someone heart
Need not tell kids that santa claus is just a prank
The day you no longer can get them gifts
Why to say the truth when maybe that's only right in your eyes

Not every pain is a scream of horror
Some are so slow and quick at the same time
Even the echo of them are too loud
Maybe not the fears but screams in our ears that break the will to speak the heart
Maybe all pain goes away one day , echoes don't ring forever someday they too may go away in silence of our hearts

Maybe what lies in our hearts is a lie too
Cause all it knows is to love and hate a few
And what for the feelings, they do change every day
Maybe we hold on to a few
Thinking they are the truth

Maybe just maybe even the superstitions are true
When you look them through a hole
Maybe the black mighty cat is so strong you dare cross its path and you will see its dark side too
Or maybe just the white cats are too nice to be true

So easy to reject whats not inline with our thoughts isn't it ?
It is
I wonder if even that thought is good in eyes of discrimination by mind between the 2
Who knows where it begins where it ends
When ever a truth is said a lie begins
But then what is creativity out of the box is that a lie too
Because at time nothing like that exists
Until just a wish
That sparks something filled with bliss

Maybe that was how existence came into reality as we perceive
From zero how negative one and positive one chipped

Bright and night from day

Hot and cold from weather

Truth and lie for facts

Love and hate for heart

Compassion and pain all exist in one plane that too only to one's own consciousness
How would you otherwise know death without dying once

Thats just what makes all of us humans

Someday it was dark through and through and then came light
A battle between the 2 or mere relation of their existence

What was before the 2
Neither the light nor the dark

Neither plane boredom nor a spark

Neither penance nor eternal joy

Nothing that existed ever today that exists then too

Because there is still a 0 in number line

That 0 is the void
With you within me and surprisingly that's the same for all of us

The void
The canvas of expression
The canvas of misery
The canvas of joy

It still exists and once you realise it neither black nor white
Neither rough nor smooth
It just exists with you
And everyone around
Maybe there will be much more love in this earth filled with deprived

From a tear of joy theres a difference to that of misery
To tear of seeing dead to tears of a few days separation misss
Love sparks everywhere
And it's always about it
You hate them because you can't love them
You like them because you have love for them
You stay with them because there's some love holding , the bond between families and many
It's just the way to see love is everywhere
And even in the void
You aren't seeing the world with pink shade glasses
But the pink bliss in the world
With the urge to cover where it's a miss

I hope to be like that someday
Today I am able to do one part but not the other
May I be able to cover the dark patches with love too
Maybe I will be able to see the victim behind each culprit one day
Maybe one day I'll be strong enough to help each victim too
Maybe one day this will all be true
Maybe there won't be another maybe again

Maybe I can do some greater good

Sorry @cold garnet
My valve opened up here only after a long time 😭😭

I like this poem! The sense of anguish and frustration is clear, and I particularly like the lines "Is it really worth trusting that a broken mirror brings doom?", and "Is it really worth trusting these baseless notions?". I think you def got ur point across here, abt the frustrations of living with false truths. I'm also quite impressed by how the meter is relatively constant for the majority of the poem, and you clearly have a good sense of rhythm!!

[cold garnet]

The last stanza was really hard for me to write

💀

[cold garnet]

I see what you're saying, truth can be subjective and maybe not every truth needs to be told. I think telling the truth even if it hurts, is better than giving someone false hopes. Lies might be easy to say, but in the long run it will just cause more pain. Why live in an illusion when you can live in the reality?
I don't get what you mean by "not every pain is a scream of horror" and after that, In the second stanza, Im referring to why do we bottle up our feelings. Do we fear how the people will react? Even though bottling up feelings makes it worse, one should still express their pain or sorrow instead of supressing it in my perspective.

[cold garnet]

I mean this*

[cold garnet]

In my area, many people believe in baseless superstitions which absolutely make no sense, theres one superstition in my area that black dogs and cats are bad luck if they ever cross your path or howling dogs at night are a bad omen. it's just wrong of people to think like this.

[cold garnet]

Actually I don't know what to say to that. Its actually a new way for me to perceive about love😭

[cold garnet]

Its okay, lol!

[arctic shore]

Where you from

[arctic shore]

It's about not giving it power
Not to keep on crumbling things up fear i guess

It doesn't even matter what was truth or lie on a grand scale

Doesn't everything seems small when you realise how big our existence is

[cold garnet]
