Invisible Reality

I had this Shakespearean sonnet that I had to write for school. If you don’t know, Shakespearean sonnets are incredibly difficult to write. These sonnets have to be 14 lines, have perfect iambic pentameter, and follow the ABABCDCDEFEFGG rhyme scheme. I was totally not into the whole assignment. I was planning on not even completing it because it was SO difficult. But with some will power, I did it. And I actually like the finished product. And for all of those Shakespeare scholars out there, the iambic pentameter might not be perfect. I call it Invisible Reality:

I’ve seen the world go ‘round but not spoken
All summer I saw trees that grow above
To where the mystery is not broken
If Peace could live, I would see so much love
And often I do seek, for I will find
But why do I aim for a goal so high?
I know the hinderance, for I am blind
There is the fountain that will never run dry
Still I walk with no direction afar
Do I know the true meaning of a life?
Though I don’t find everything bizarre
But why on Earth do we have so much strife?
This life I live but not to be fulfilled
Better World is what I should hope to build
