You Lived in your own World

you still survived

Even when the sky is clear and there's notting to be seen, but yet you're still there

You're ignored by the hearvenly bodies depite you live with them

The sun refused to be your friend

Neither does the moon knows your name

But You're still there

The sun dries you up

It refused to give you photosynthesis

Starvation is now your friend

The stars and the moon refuse to give you light when dark

Your eyes cannot see when dark

But you're still there

Many times you cried for sight

When all around you is dark

But courageousness makes you move trough

When it rains

It falls upon you

And when the lightening comes

It struck you down and makes you faint

You lay there for years

Even your brother saw you laying

But didn't pick you up

You didn't blame him because you understood

You could tell he's hungry by his countenance

The sun didn't give him photosynthesis either

He looks weak

He appeared sympathetic

but he wants to conserve energy

But as for you, you didn't give up

You call for help in the dark, but no one came

you lay there for years

Helpless, hopeless and depressed

You needed grains

And started to eat your own flesh to survive

You bite and bite

Untill you reached your bones

You started to feel the pain you have cost to yourself

But the need you seek form the heavenly bodies has finally been met

You are left with a wound

A one that hurt and connot be cure

you got used to pain

Because you believed "no pain no game"

you got use to being abandon

you are an island and dwell within your own world

you breathe your own air

And ate your won flesh

The heaven bodies all ignore you

Because they don't care about you

Despite all, you still survived

Summary.

This poem tells a story about the relationship between a country called Liberia, and the international community. Liberia is a country in West Africa bodering Guinea, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone and south of it is the Atlantic Ocean. The theme of this poem violates the natural concept, "no one is an island." Despite her isolation that lead her to adject poverty, the country of Liberia is still standing. She believes in herself and dwell within her own world. She had falled many times and had gotten up because she understands the common rule that in this life, we are all on our own. In this poem, the United States specifically symbolizes the sun. Both the United States and Liberia are neighbors because they lived in the same universe. In a situiton where the sun doesn't shine on a land, it's impossible for such land to florish because a universal law explains that the sun is the source of all energy. In the absence of the sun, there would be no photosynthesis.

With these little connective points, you can build the meaning of this poem on your own.

Please sent me a comment if you don't get the overall concept, I would love to examplify on more details.
