Be able to...

Be able to...

A Poem by FaithfullyJennyBear

Don't judge me,

I know my life ain't perfect

but it's not that bad?

I've been through some bad things

but I've experienced some good.

 

'Put a smile on your face,

you look better when you smile,

your green eyes glisten,

and you make me warm inside'

 

'Live life to the full,

even if you have no reason too'

 

'Been better, been worse'

 

These are the words I live by,

either what I've made up,

or what I've been told.

 

What I expect from life?

Goes untold even to myself.

What I do know is that...

 

 

I wanna be able to smile

at least once a day.

I want to be able to laugh

when things don't go my way.

I want to be able see

especially through the dark.

I want to be able to show

without leaving a mark.

 

Too much to ask?

Well maybe it is,

but I'll spend my life trying

because in my opinion..

 

'Life's worth the try'

A lot of good wisdom in your words. We need to look for the good in a life. We need to smile and laugh. Life is hard enough.
"I want to be able see
especially through the dark.
I want to be able to show
without leaving a mark."
Thank you for a excellent poem.

"I wanna be able to smile
at least once a day.
I want to be able to laugh
when things don't go my way."

I wanna be able to smile

I want to be able to laugh
when things don't go my way.
I want to be able see
especially through the dark.
I want to be able to show
without leaving a mark. I loved this stanza. I feel like this all the time. Excellent write.

Nice work, this is why adults should write off teenagers as know-nothing, ignorant pipsqueaks, but there is one piece of wisdom I offer, age brings on tougher, harsher experiences and that is when the message is needed even more.
