Poem Commentary

Just another brain storm...

Know Yourself

I can't always comprehend... The lack of time we have to spend
Upon this earth to realize... To be ourselves before we die
I can't always recommend... That broken hearts need to mend
Look into the other's eyes... To grasp a view of your desguise

To know yourself you must know the truth
Is what you say in control of you?
Do you speak so much that you need proof?
To be yourself you must speak truth

I don't always understand... Is what you say at your demand?
Take a look and you will find... Drunken lips speak a drunken mind
I don't always have a plan... Queen of hearts, sleight of hand
I'm not driven but I'm inclined... To wander off deaf and blind

To know yourself is to know the truth
Is what I say reaching you?
Reality lost all of it's proof
But to be ourselves we must speak truth

Very well written!! I can completely understand where you are coming from... Its like you took the words out of my mind and put it into your own work... GREAT JOB!!!

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
