Homework

Your homework is to create a poem of at least ten lines. All lines must be examples of antithesis. This is my feeble attempt at a model. If I find a better one, I will post that.

Peace and Blessings,

It is what I strive to experience; yet it is what I run away from.
My mind says it is not possible; yet my heart encourages me to soar.
I have seen few people succeed in achieveing it and I have seen so many fail.
I am dreaming, or am I awake?
Is this a fantasy, or is this real?
Stop wondering; think clearly!
To stand still is death, but to fly is freedom!
I won't stay stagnant, but I will leap!
I will do it, I will make it happen! (Parallelism)
No more will I let you keep me down, but I force myself to rise up!
I will not run away, but I will fly!
