The Secrets We Hide

By Tiffany Franklin

      I could really relate to the poem. I think anyone could. “we struggle to have meaning on this world.” Everyone struggles to know who they are and what they are doing. What does anything mean? What are we supposed to do in life? Everyone has these and other questions at some point in their life. People may think or try to make it seem like they  know what their doing, but honestly no one can predict the future. No one knows what's going to happen tomorrow. Know one knows who they will meet or who they will run into. No one knows who you're not going to know in a year from now. Or more. No one knows who you will still know. I have had a lot of really great friends. Most I thought we would be close forever. I have fallen farther apart from all of them. People change. We change. I have changed. Were all different. Except one. One person that . has always been there. My best friend. Everyone needs someone who is always there. SOme of the stuff I have been through I wouldn't have made it without that one person. I see it like, at some point in life everyone will fall apart. Everyone will feel lost and broken and not know where to go. Honestly you control your own life. Being happy and being sad is all up to you. Its good to have a balance, but dealing with one of the extremes is way too much to handle. Dealing with life is up to you. Take it one step at a time, laugh, breath, spend time doing what you want. This poem let me contemplate on life. I really enjoyed it. The poem had a lot of alliteration and approximate rhyme. It could be from the perspective of a wise person or maybe a “creator” who knows the secret of the world.
