I have a secret

by Karla   Nov 7, 2011


I have a secret to tell:
I am glued to this world.
Who should be blamed for this mistake?

But my head has never been here
over my shoulders.
It is lost in another galaxy
where my moment fits the impossible stars.

My eyes observe
unobservable beauties,
specially those tighten by hope and faith.
I am a self-taught dreamer.
Every day
I challenge myself to see the world
from a different angle.
I like to hang upside-down like a bat
and see some miracles.
I know I can't see any when
my feet are on the ground.

Once I tried to run away,
flee from the poor meaning of life.
The window was open
and invited me to study the Laws of Newton.
When I opened my black eyes,
I was already glued to this time of desacralization.

It has been hard to face what is absolute and undeniable.
(I did all my best to smile)
There must be something that justifies my presence
in this dimension.
But I don't want to philosophize now.
I am open to suggestions.

    You write very powerfully about very deep topics. This one leaves a lot of thoughts for me, and it makes you question how you see life and the meaning of your life and future etc, very nice work.

    i have to say your title choice is very clever, I immediatly wanted to read the poem because it is like osmeone saying " I have to tell you something... but not now " it leaves you desperate to find out what!!

    Nice work

    I found this poem intriguing and interesting.

    But the message that I understood from it is to try to see life from different perspectives. One perspective might be sad but if you try to look at it from an other angel, it might not be as bad. Just like a video. If its taken from one angle it can be interpreted one way but if its from another the truth is there. I found this poem sad yet inspiring, losing hope when you tried to study newton's law, and when you tried your best to smile. And also I learned from it, That is always a good idea to be open to suggestions. :D

    You capture the essence of the phrase "to seek a better world." Your interplay between being stuck in the 'real' world while comprehending others comes across clearly. One line has me confused: What is the meaning of the use of 'tighten' to modify hope and faith? Even if it's a typo for tightened, I remain mystified. Otherwise the poem is terrific. Especially enjoy the humor of hanging like a bat 'cause your feet don't belong on the ground.
