The path ahead, foggy.
The lights are very low.
Are you my friend?
Or are you my foe?

I wish there was something;
Something to guide
I wish there was somone
In whom I can confide.

Learning the hard way
Makes too much pain.
Just skip that torrent
Of harsh, stinging rain.

Thunder reminds us
Of that which will be,
Of that which is hanging,
And that which we now see.

Skip over the lightning.
Though you see all 'round,
You can see the damage,
Cluttering the ground.

There must be a way
To know how to be,
Without pain for others;
Without pain for me.

Dedication: To every teen learning the hard way.

Peace and Love,

I like the way you write, not to mention your choice of topics!  Great poem!  I know how it feels to learn the hard way, I'm just sorry to see others do as well....
