the storms of life tear at you
and
you fall
even when
you look for the good, try for the best

this is lovely! simple and powerful (I read it both ways a few times lol)
“The storms of life” is simple yet so evocative, and I like the subtle shift in this that requires a re-read. Powerful message no matter which way you look!
Great job
Excellent change entry , great words

Very cleverly composed. Love this one 😍 (also very impressive how quickly you came up with an inverse poem!)
