We have a fascination with the other side. It will always elude us, always hide. It is there waiting for us never quite in sight, All of our work, effort and plight Goes to seeking what we will never find But we found all along inside of our mind.
On the other side the grass is much greener, Itβs more pleasant, and the air is even cleaner. Perhaps it even holds the fountain of youth, But alas, none of these are the truth.
You climb all the way to the top of the wall, And you find what lies ahead is better than all. You peer over the wall and into the mirror, And at last the true answer is clearer. We always had what we thought we desire, What drives all our love, passion and fire. It is what drives you beyond the end of your rope, All along the other side was just hope.
The poem that got me started on writing poetry. My very first poem outside of school assignments.
