Question:

Creative response to a poem PLEASE Mylife depends on it?

By walking I found out
Where I was going.

By intensely hating, how to love.
By loving, whom and what to love.

By grieving, how to laugh from the belly.

Out of infirmity, I have built strength.
Out of untruth, truth.
From hypocrisy, I wove directness.

Almost now I know who I am.
Almost I have the boldness to be that man.

Another step
And I shall be where I started from.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

If you want my honest opinion it sounds to scattered. You should use the same beginning for each thing you have learned I like "out of" best. Also out of untruth, truth sounds really lame. There are plenty of words that mean untruth. I think you can find something that is not so similar. I don't want to sound mean this is just my opinion. Do with it what you will. Also it is overall a good idea and poem. Good luck!
