Our Cimmerian World

Only misery,

It is not

As you will see,

Happiness I find in this world,

And it will never be

Just pain and hurt,

It is not soley

Lies, but I found truth

I cannot find.

You should stop looking, for

What you'll never find.

A surrender is

The only solution.

Empathy, teamwork, and respect is

Foolish to believe in.

Destruction and hopelessness is

Completely inevitble.

Change for the better is

Nearly impossible

And darkness becomes

A commonplace

When light begins to be

Disappearing into the past.

Our Cimmerian world is

All we know.

Happiness once and for all will be

Unable to bloom

And nefarious times will be

The cause of our doom.

Maybe horrible things won't be

Perpetual and then

Good times will be

If we turn things around,

And maybe, just maybe,

Things will better,

If we go UP INSTEAD OF DOWN.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My "reverse poem" i wrote a year ago about. You read it down line by line, and then read it line by line back up to change the meaning. This is my original poem.
