Different

No one really has a clue,
Diving face first into everything they do.
We're all just winging it, 
Sharing stories of how we survived,
Hoping someday we fulfill our purpose for being alive.
This thing called life, was not once explained.
Alone we learn, that with every lose, more is gained.
Each enduring all kinds of trials and tribulations,
Most with a head full of complications.
Since the day we are delivered at birth,
We grow to seek, why we were put on earth.
From every dark storm, continuous battles, bleeding wounds, and a shattered heart.
We must not forget, it's our differences in who we are, that uniquely sets us apart.
Only then we can truly, understand the reason why,
The advice we were given, was to always live every moment to the fullest until the day we die.

Taylor Jade, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
