VELOCITY

· by · in Life Lesson, poetry. ·

There are marks on my heart that I couldn’t show

My eyes are closed, but I’m still watching the show

I am sitting in the train and looking through the window

My surroundings are fast and my life is slow

They are talking loud but their self esteem is low

They look like adults but they still need to grow

A person who knows, will never say I know

People with little knowledge always sit in the first row

Life forces us to see what we don’t want to see

Slowly slowly we lose our shine and glow

One day we will become tired to kill our desire

It’s hard to pretend to others that you don’t know

People emphasize to go with the flow

To rebel against yourself  is your biggest  foe

When you are out of my reach I feel helpless

My heart stops beating and my blood pressure becomes low.

I am standing alone and looking in the sky

My heart is falling from the sky like snow

  4. Heartfelt words. Every line meaningful in its own way. This one in particular jumped out at me: “It’s hard to pretend to others that you don’t know” – beautiful, insightful piece.

  9. I think this piece is one of the kinds that everyone would relate to, at least once in their lifetime. The difference in the pace with which the world moves and we do, can be stark and upsetting.
    I am really keen to know the reason behind calling it ‘Velocity’.

    • The velocity of the train inspired me to think about life… In the sense that Our lives are a journey… Simply,time is something that can’t be replaced but rather apart of the process of the direction we choose… Which could lead to us evolving for better or for worse. We all have our own pace and own time that we run on.

  26. Really like this! I think my favorite line is “my surroundings are fast and my life is slow.” Can really relate to that right now!

  38. I think the most significant part of this poem for me is the naïveté of our younger days. Some days I wish I could be naive and less understanding of the world, just so life would be a little less painful sometimes. I said this to an acquaintance once, who changed my perspective and said “Oh but the smaller falls hurt more for the naïve, plus, we get much more of them!”

  43. Very powerful piece. I think my favorite line is “My surroundings are fast and my life is slow” — I can really connect with that one. The flow here is gentle and easy but consistent. It reads aloud well. Excellent Write

  44. There are marks on my heart this train ride i’m on, will be a long trip, but not like my life it’s a battle i’ve been on, my mind holds these thoughts of where did i go wrong i did my best in my life that’s full of stress, i have went the lengths i have walked the lines through my life of hardship times, no one can change or shape my life into something better or great for me, so i keep the sun on my face and the wind at my back, and i pray and keep the faith.
