Everything Happens For A Reason.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jul 3, 2008


*-Written for a contest.-*

"Everything happens for a reason."
Oh, how the quote expatiates in my mind.
It is what I live by each day -
my life motto; what I deem.

It is the truth as to why things transpire -
the way that they do.
It elucidates life in it's entirety-
whether it be for the better or the worse.

Every heart that gets shattered -
shatters for a reason.
Every tear that is shed -
sheds for a reason.
Every lie that is told -
is told for a reason.

Although life is full of plenty of hassles,
Don't frown when you stumble on them.
Look within yourself and you'll really see-
Everything truly does happen for a reason-
And rather than crying and being sad,
Find the happiness within, and smile.

    Enjoyed the entire write except for the fourth stanza, it seemed to lose the metre of the work.
    I would have followed the third stanza(negative acts) with a stanza of positive ones such as smlie, hug, kiss and ended it with two lines
    "Very thing happens.
    FOR A REASON" .
    As always an opinion.

    "Everything happens for a reason."
    Oh, how the quote expatiates in my mind.
    It is what I live by each day -
    my life motto; what I deem.

    ^^The first stanza started of amazing. It captured my attention right away. Tis what everyone should live by these days.

    'It is the truth as to why things transpire -
    the way that they do.
    It elucidates life in it's entirety-
    whether it be for the better or the worse.

    ^^The emotion i felt in this stanza blew me away. It amazes me that somebody so young understands that everything happens for better or worse, but always ends up in a lesson.

    'Every heart that gets shattered -
    shatters for a reason.
    Every tear that is shed -
    sheds for a reason.
    Every lie that is told -
    is told for a reason.'

    ^^seriously true! i feel that everything happens for a reason, but life is our teacher. it gives the tests first the lessons afterward.

    'Although life is full of plenty of hassles,
    Don't frown when you stumble on them.
    Look within yourself and you'll really see-
    Everything truly does happen for a reason-
    And rather than crying and being sad,
    Find the happiness within, and smile.'

    ^^ the last stanza hits me in my gut. i understand this completly. For it is somethingi've recently taken to. I also agree you must find the happiness in even the most inevitable situations.

    well written. I always enjoy readong your poetry.
    5/5
