We Were Meant To Live For So Much More
Clusters of people, many a voice
I let the others hand me my choice
I walked through life without a care
To what life would be without these people there
I blended in, I refused to stand out
The thoughts in my head were all full of doubt
What did I want to do with my time?
When was I going to let myself shine?
Potential, like a bud not yet in bloom
Potential, to improve, yes, there was room,
So why did I let myself down so much for?
When we were meant to live, for so much more
I was inspired by this photo the most, out of the many pictures I had gotten out of the trip to the Botanic Gardens. When I look at this photo, the first thing I noticed were the four or five stalks of ixoras that stood out further than the rest. I thought about it a little, and I realized that this is much like life as we know it.
Everyone may do their part, and do what is expected of them, but only those who put in the extra effort, and do more than what is expected of them, are recognized. The idea of Man and Nature strikes me in a way that made me view man as an aspect of nature. The Romantics of that time thought of nature as a source of inspiration and life. In a slightly different way, I related Man to Nature, by using Nature as a symbol of a person’s life.
