Alright by Seizure

The windows rattle slightly, the rain falls outside
All your happiness escapes like the tide
Color's left your face, clothes are faded gray
Pressure's building up and you are not okay
You want to confide, it's more than you can bear
So you look around, of course no one is there
Can this all be real? Where's your self esteem?
Life is never easy, this is not a dream

When you feel rejected and life just gets worse
And you want it better but you can't reverse
So you sit alone, another tear in your eye
Asking God yourself, why you can't just die
You get no reply as you start to break down
The sadness fills you until your about to drown
So what do you do when paradise tires of you
And your greatest fear is about to come true?

The first verse reminds us that life in the real world is GRAY. I agree. Sometimes your overwhelmed by joy. Othertimes, for others, its most of the time, is the overpowering of sadness. And then at the end of the first verse is a statement that asks you:what really do you want to do? like finding your direction and realizing your goal.

he second verse is the culmination of the poem. And prompts us a responsibility to act and be awaken; to brace ourselves in anticipation of the greatest turbulence that life might roll upon us.

I like this poem, aptly named Alright. Not in the sense that its all okay. But its a a word that entails words. In short its a question. Like: "Alright...so you think you have a life? What is your life about?...or sumthin like that...seizure, you cause me to seize time after reading this...why? because i had to ponder over my life and simply asked myself..."yeah...could be true...what if?...dont cease to write...

stuff.
Leah06, yeah, you can call me whatever you wish as long as I know it means me. I agree, the ending is thought provoking.

Red Dragon, I'm assuming you are both a musician and literary analyst. My musician assumption comes from you calling the stanzas verses, and the analyst part comes from the assumptions you made in regard to the work. I appreciate your take on it.

Glad you liked it LinzAy.
