Unsteady hands, violent shakes
Ready to wear and ready to break
Learning a lesson or two from mistakes.

High maintenance and stubborn
Unyielding opinions and views
Ready to give up and ready to lose
That is why you fear every piece of bad news.

Defensive and destructive
Understanding and still
Hanging from a noose
Because you had lost all your will.

Wishful thinker
Positive views
Imagination and creation
With nothing to lose.

Wouldn't be nice if we learned from every mistake to not do it again? Unfortunately we don't and with that comes loads of problems. After reading this I wonder if we choose to be positive or destructive or if it just happens? Got me to pondering away here.......

Loved your poem.... Kie

Ah, yes...a poem of great depth. The back and forth nature of this 'double edged knife' conveys nicely the emotions you feel. I could probably analyse every line, but believe me--I understand this poem 100%, especially the (awesome) last stanza.

Truly,
-Dan

Well-written, true, what more could be asked? Again you impress me . . . and again . . . and again . . .

Ohhhh, I should clarify--

Not "true, it's well-written", but rather, "it's well-written, and it's true" . . .

Just wanted to clarify that.
