We were lost

They told us

And

We would never make it

They said

All because

We forgot our prior lives

Turning to electronics instead

No more

Laughter, love, and morals

We focused on

Materialistic views of life

Ignoring

What really mattered

Making changes based on

What we thought was right

We did

We struggled

To fix our mistakes

It was almost too late

 

(Now read from bottom to top.)

I have always found it really hard to make these, so hats off to you! The beautiful message magnifies your talent tenfold, so... KEEP WRITING :D    *\(^_^)/*
