Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Rl Maybe This Means I Am Finally Growing Up

Slam to Self

If you wish to place higher
in future

Listen to your elders like 
Sir R.L

And don't blame other's if you
fail to listen or observe the
rules of engagement

Maybe this means

I am finally growing up

Because as a child

I hated being scolded and
corrected even when i was
obviously in the wrong

Whereas now

I absolutely love it when people 
politely 

Point it out i am and i am
willing to admit it

And learn from my mistakes
so as not to perpetuate them

And pass them on to other's

We are all able to learn if we allow ourselves to be open.
