Forever
Forever we remain oblivious to the future,
lost to the past and enduring our torture.
Forever we take chances to settle our scores,
losing some battles and winning some wars.
Forever praying out loud hoping someone will hear,
forever crying softly but never shedding a tear.
Forever exists behind a disguise,
but the belief in forever keeps our hearts alive.
Forever is a short poem about the struggles and positives of life and what they mean. In 8 lines it captures a lot of meaning and power. It was written by war veteran Terri Nicole Tharrington in 2012.
As an american war veteran, it is obvious that a lot of the sorrow and pain in this poem comes from her pain in the war. It shows a lot imagery because of how descriptive and real the poem is. It was written from a place of pain but also hopefulness. All of this seems to bleed through in just a few short lines.
"Forever we remain oblivious to the future, lost to the past and enduring our torture."
This is to say that no matter how much there is certainty towards something in our life's, nothing is to ever be guaranteed or completely certain. There is always the possibility of something going wrong. It is very important to know nothing can ever be assumed, and even if you think something is obvious to another person. They are oblivious to your thought, requests, and desires.
"Forever we take chances to settle our scores, losing some battles and winning some wars."
This represents humans aggression and always wanting to beat others. never settling for being even or equal. Although one may lose the less important things, they may win what really matters. This could also be interpreted as; you may not always receive the little wins (accomplishments, goals, achievements) but if you work hard at what you want to achieve and consistently try hard at it. You will achieve what you want to achieve. These are both possible interpretations of the poem.
"Forever praying out loud hoping someone will hear, forever crying softly but never shedding a tear."
Everything you say, is never heard. You feel that no one cares, no one wants to talk to you, be around you, think about you. But you still hope, deep inside that it's just your attitude and what you feel. You pray that even one person still enjoys your presence, your time, your emotion. But you never show this, or represent it. You keep it hidden deep in the hole that is your heart.
"Forever exists behind a disguise, but the belief in forever keeps our hearts alive."
This means to represent, what is forever. What does it mean, what does it represent. Time goes by so quickly that forever never is forever, it is when. When will the pain end, when will the joy arise. Forever was the title and emphasis of this poem, but instead it shows that time is limited. You think you have all this time ahead of you. But you have very little time instead.
I really connect and resonate with this poem. It shows that time is always limited, and trust can always be deceived. No matter how long you think you have to love, or enjoy what you have, know that it can and may go away in the blink of the eye. There may be nothing you can do about this as well. This poem really shows that life has many ups and downs and uncontrollable factors.
