Content
In knowing I did all I could
Discontent
With the result of what I’ve done
Content
With the way I have handled life
Discontent
With where my life is now
Content
With the lessons I have learned
Discontent
With how I have learned these lessons
Being content and discontented are usually tied together
We do with time what we can and learn from it
as we pass through this obstacle we call life

Isn't this the truth. Yes, life is indeed an obstacle. Great view point here.

Life does seem to be an obstacle course...so important to keep ourselves healthy (in all ways) in order to find our way around them. This was an interesting piece of writing, and I enjoyed it.

Spiked - I like the way you play "content" and "discontent" in counterpoint. Great theme, and you handled it very well. It reminds me of the adage:

Good judgements come from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgements.

Now, let's get this poem back up to the top...
