My favourite line is The tears and the terror are but the half-truth. Keep it up.

A very good mind blowing piece and a good discourse on the ups and owns of life. Written with much concern and convictions.

It's a profound poem written in highly metaphorical language. On the deck of life we see around or inside to understand our selves. You bloom when not cared for? May be it's better not to be understood at all rather than being misunderstood.

Heartfelt poem indeed. You have described the three phases beautifully. This is definitely a fact of life. No day is ever same. We can never make one understand or it can be taken in other way too, they understood but their ego never allows them to give up...One has to survive such a shipwreck, because there is no choice left. Each dawn should be filled like happy school going children's innocence. Beautiful way you have put the three different phases of life. Loved it.

Yes, tears and terror are but half truths! The sun that looks pale, sad and lost today will emerge bright and up beat the next dawn.... This is true of life too! From agony and distress, we will come into the light of cheer and delight... We can survive even a shipwreck.... may be we'll be marooned for sometime in a desolate island to be rescued later.... A poem with roots boring deep into the innards of one's being! Touching write!

Just a glance but many views! The poem is a portrait of sketches unusually but convincingly drawn across the canvas of a poetic reach that enlightens and elaborates a lot.
