Array ( [sid] => 41601 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Life [time] => 2004-04-03 13:26:34 [hometext] => One of my first poems... [bodytext] => Life is full of choices
Full of many roads to take.
Many twists, many turns
Try to lead you down the wrong path.
But whoever you are you know the path
But maybe you don’t realize it just yet.
You need to learn who you really are
Not the person you pretend to be.
Some people don’t pretend
But others do.
To be the person you want to be
You need to look deep down inside you.
Though there may not seem to be anything there
There is, you just need to really look.
It made be hard at first, but you need to stop fooling yourself
You need to believe the truth.
You need to stop worrying what others think of you
You need to do what you know is right.
It doesn’t matter if something you do brings a lot of rumors, a lot of crap
If it’s what you want to do then do it, no matter what others may say or do.
If it’s bad then you’ll just have to figure it out for yourself, learn your own lessons
Make your own mistakes.
Other people need to realize
That it leads you to you.
I realized this too late
Though I’m pretty much a hypocrite.
I let too much worry me, let too much get me down
Let what other people say and do bother me.
But it’s nobodies business what I do
I have a head on my shoulders and my own mind.
No matter how blonde my hair is, or how ditzy I am
I’m not stupid.
I have made a few too many bad decisions, bad choices in my life
But I’ve learned my lesson from all of them, though I keep making the same mistakes.
Those decisions aren’t as vital as the ones I have made for the good
Like saying no to drugs.
These decisions were little things
Yet things that seemed to control my life.
No matter how trivial
They led things from bad to worse.
My paths have been crossed with the wrong people
I’ve been friends with bad people, held relationships with bad people.
But I’ve learned how to realize these things early
Though sometimes I don’t see.
Shadows follow me everywhere
Shadows of who I used to be.
That person was awesome
But is also gone.
I tried to get her back
But I failed.
The reason is simple
As I said, I’m a hypocrite.
I didn’t do any of the above I preached about
And now it’s too late.
Don’t let this happen to you
Don’t put yourself through that.
If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life without yourself is hard
It downright sucks.
Find yourself
Before it’s too late. [comments] => 0 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 21 [informant] => DarkAngel89 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
