"Kindness" Copy change

Published on 11 June 2023 at 22:08

Original Poem                             First re write

Kindness can be known as many things

The savior to hate

The prize to the unlucky

The wish from the families

Kindness is desired by everyone and everything

But, kindness isn't something gifted

Kindness must be earned 

Through sacrifice, and through hard-bearings

When you discover the different environments

Throughout the lands of kindness

realizing how empty and sorrow it is

Without kindness.

Only then, will you truly realize

the meaning of kindness

Final Rewrite

Kindness can be known as many things

The savior to hate

The prize to the unlucky

The wish from the families

Kindness is desired by everyone and everything

But, kindness isn't something gifted

Kindness must be earned

Through sacrifice, and through hard-bearings

When you discover the desolate landscape

Throughout the regions of kindness.

realizing how empty and sorrow it is

Without kindness.

Only then, will you truly realize

the meaning of kindness

My goal while writing this poem was to change the poem entirely, but keep the same idea presented in the original poem. I changed the meaning of the main one, since it was a bit dark and it didn't really seem hopeful near the end of it. With mines, I added the dark element to it, but I brought some light to it near the end of it, mentioning how kindness is sort of a distraction from the world we live in, where its all hate and all this bad stuff. I liked the original poem, but it was sort of demeaning and it was just too dark for a poem that was titled "kindness".
