the two days that paved my way

The two days that paved my way,

The two days that paved my way,

One was dark, agonising, and depressing,

The other one was jolly, bright, and exquisite,

However, the only difference was my quiet vigil.

INFERENCE:

Humans have a tendency to overlook the fact that our perspective contributes to our moods. In this poem, the two days of my life, which resembled one another and carried a plethora of similarities and significance, drastically led to different moods and conclusions. The first one was depressing as well as full of stress and anxiety. Moreover, the next day was also similar. Nevertheless,I felt jolly which actually baffled me. Furthermore, when I keenly figured it out, I found that the difference was not in the day, it was in my perspective.
