A POEM WORTH READING...EVERYDAY!

Chanie Gorkin was 17 when she wrote a poem for her 12th grade school assignment that went viral.  What a wise young lady! It’s one of the most brilliant things I have ever read.  See for yourself:

 

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day

 

Now read it from bottom to top, the other way,
And see what I really feel about my day.
