People learn what they live and theres no way around it
we get ourselves into situations and we find ourselves surrounded, surrounded because we'll never know what life is all about
we are too trapped in each other
to ever find that out
and it comes to a point
were we just can't take no more
we want to put the past behind
and close all open doors
because the doors lead to hallways of ignorance and heartache, and the hallways lead to stairways
with each step a heart breaks
so just because you've lived it
doesn't mean things can't change
if you learn from the mistakes
it will help heal the pain
and dont make exuses-it will only help the fire burn
yes people learn what they live
but it only counts...
when you live what you learn


I would like to thank everyone that welcomed me here, I have a feeling I will like it very much!

I'm glad that you like it so much here! It is a great place, and I hope to see you around a lot.

This is a really good poem. The path of life can be painful and confusing, but it's all an learning experience. You describe it well. Keep up the good work!

IsGona already quoted the part I liked the most, the ending, it's so great!  I'm glad you're liking it here, it's such a great place.  Nice job on the poem

Hey this was great.......the title says it all!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
