Better By Far

Better By Far

Better by far to hear rather than be heard,
See rather than be seen,
Know rather than be known.
A wise man knows,
Without a shadow of a doubt,
The only ones worth seeing
Are the ones that are never seen.
The monsters are within.

Hi Lucy, I liked this poem very much- quality over quantity- nicely balanced, good rhythm and flow and  the message and meaning quite succinct- well done!!  5 stars love it!

Thank you so much :) I don't normally do short poems, in fact mine are usually too long-winded haha. I'm getting better with it, though.  And with this one it was all I needed to say.
Thanks again!
