The quote above's idea is really that people dont write poetry just so they can sound smart or because its romantic, people write poetry because it expresses how different everyone in the world is. People all over the world do all different things, and in order to express there passion for what they do. It's like they are telling a story but putting there love for what they do into it. Everyone is different and because of that the world is crazy...but in a good way. But taking the time to put your real feelings about yourself down on paper slows everyone down. Thats what poetry does. It makes you stop and think about how you really feel about everything. About the world, about what you do for a living and about what you want to do.

What's The Fear In Life
Liking and non-liking are what with what we do play in life,
Families and buildingsare what in which we make investments in life,
Good thoughts and thinkings are what most involve less in life,
Tears and smiles are some with which we interact in lifeMothers and fathers are those who we love in life
Sons and daughters are those for whom we live in life,
Technologies and progress are those we look up to in life,
Yes and nos. are the words to make decisions in life,
Neither and nor are the words we use frequently in lite,
Wealth and money which we whim to earn in life,
Honesty and integrity are those qualities which we love to adhere to in life,
The forbidden fruits are those we wish to taste in life,
Opportunities and chances are fhose we want to get in life,
Creativity and discoveries are those - rare to people in life,
Gone days and memories are those to cherish in life,
Happenings and memories are those like jerks in life,
Struggles and sorrow are those to overcome in life,
The ticking of pendulum is, that reminds the age of our life,
So many are the things to do in life
-So why fear the fact - to step forward with each step towards the end of life?
Sonnet Mondal National poet of India

This poem is pretty much how I feel about life and this is how some people should look at life also.
