Is this It?

So our English teacher made us write a poem in class, me being horrible at English and not having the depth for poetry started panicking. He gave us 20 minutes to start on the poem, our first line had to be "I am on a journey" it was up to us to finish the rest. By the end of the class I got about 4 lines done when a friend of mine had finished her poem well before the period ended -_-'. Yeah it was quite depressing... But I finally finished the poem a day later ^^' Don't worry there is a point to this post... I kinda liked the poem and thought why not post it...keep in mind this is my first shot at writing a poem, so obviously it's not amazing -_-'

Is This It?

I am on a journey,
to search for the truth,
The true meaning of life.
Countless nights spent,
Wondering "is this it?"

Awakened by the sun and the early birds song,
Only to be deafened by the sounds of angry cars.
Surrounded by blocks of ice, containing selfish thoughts,
Stealing the warmth of what little summer is left.

To return to an empty, dark cave.
With only the crackling of a dull fire on display.
Questioning the night sky; staring high,
Hoping for answers from the twinkling stars.
At first there is a glimpse; strong and bright,
But gradually starts to fade; weak and dim.
"Is this it?"


Okay so like I said it's not really great. It won't let me format the poem the way I want to :( And I know it doesn't rhyme, it's not suppose to...and yes it's a bit darkish.Constructive criticism appreciated ^^ Enjoy!

P.S The picture is of Kakashi, I thought the picture went well with the poem and who wouldn't want to see a picture of Kakashi ^^
