A lesson

A lesson

 

 

I didn’t care what you thought

I didn’t care who you were

You were so unimportant

My life was a blur

 

I thought I knew everything

I thought I could do it all

To me you were nothing

I couldn’t fall

 

I thought it was worthless

I saw no reason to learn

I knew everything I needed to

My heart could never burn

 

I was ahead

Then he came along

My heart was left broken

And my thoughts turned out wrong

 

You held me together

You told me the truth

You showed me the way

I graduated from my youth

 

Though as the years passed I began to forget

Your lessons lost

I was so naive

I had to learn another cost.

 

The next time you weren’t there

I had taken another wrong turn

You had warned me again and again

Though it wasn’t till now I realized the lesson I hadn’t wanted to learn

 

Sometimes we all fall

Though we have to keep on

I always left you

And now you’re gone

This really makes me think more of taking things for granted than anything else, something we're all guilty of whether we meant to or not. Nice job

[Senseless whatever]

Not bad at all. Feels like you wrote kinda ranty but still flows nicely.

[lawrence bear]

love hurts, hearts get broken, a fine piece you have constructed.

[Sabbath_Nikole]

"I graduated from my youth" i think this line would sound better if you left out the "my." Again only my opinion your the author this is your work, and you know how you want it to sound, the my just sounded like an extra syllable. Good stuff.

[AllyKinzz:)]

this makes me want to cry. i love it. it doesnt suck. its very powerful. you are a great writer :D

[LynLee]

this is seriously not a suckish write! you are a very talented writer and you shouldn't doubt your work or other people will, if you say that it sucks then the people trying to see it through your eyes will say it suck when it really doesn't. this is another great poem from another great writer!

This doesn't suck at all,
This is a very good write.
I'd love to see you enter one of my contest.
This is amazing. I like the emotion intertwined in this.
