Something worth think about.


 

Today, I feel like talking@writing about a poem. Hep!, do not crinkle your nose! Poem is not that boring. Believe me, it is not boring, when you try to relate the content with yourself. Try your best to connect it with what happening outside and inside of you. Then, it will not bore you to death. Try to connect it with something you want to show to others, or even something that you've tried your best to hide to others. Then you will see, understand and appreciate what the poet trying to say. Just give it a try, will ya? 

This is my so-far favourite poem, by Frost. I discovered this poem during one of my classes. Take your time to read it, then relate it with something, someone, somewhere. 

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost-

When you are alive; breathing, thinking n etc: you are creating your own world. The world of friendship, the world of partnership. So, how your world will end? With fire or with ice. The destructive forces. Hot and cold.

Fire:The raging flame that comes with undeniable heat. So what is it really? I believe the fire is hatred. It does't matter if you keep it inside or let it outside, its still burning. So, do you want your world to end with hatred? My friendship does end with hatred. So I guess I am the fire, and it burning me inside out, and the flame keep blazing because I didn't put it off with forgiveness. That is me, that I despise, that I want to change. I am not proud of that. It is the same with desire, flaming red and proud. 

Ice: It's freezing in here. In the heart itself. Sometimes, when you want to shut off some people, you keep a straight face and keep your heart frozen. Ice princess. Who says that doesn't hurt. The silence, the coldness ; enough to cause destruction and it would suffice (enough). I keep my heart frozen, extra careful to hand it to someone, because it is fragile, might break with a simple knock. And it wouldn't be the same, although I try to reassemble it.
