Hell on Earth

I wrote this poem when I was disappointed in some really close people to me, so that would explain why it's quite... depressing. I hope you still like it though!

It's always the same mistake;
We never realise until it's too late,
That maybe, it's wasn't so bad,
We only made it more sad
By never being grateful for all we have.
Now look at this world that we create
No one wants to see its real fate
Too selfish, stubborn, self-centered
To admit the road we took and ventured
In, will not end well
On this Earth we're making hell.

it was a thoughtful reminder to those close to you (but also as a work of art) to all of us to appreciate what we have and not overrate the small disappointments or far worse could happen. and it was Not depressing.

A good poem; short, sweet and to the point. With nice rhymes that don't seem too forced or fake, overall a great effort, looking forward to more poems :)

This is good :) It is honest and it comes from the inside! Keep writing :)

I am new to poetry, too! Nice to meet a fellow newbie! I did like this poem very much. it was strong and moving. I have experienced the same emotions before, but you just put them into words!
