The Best That I'Ve Ever Been

From day to day I change in some way by learning from what I've been through I take these lessons to heart, which shows that I'm smart and will not repeat my mistakes like fools do. This may sound strange, but each time that I change I know it's for the better, whether I like it or not you'll learn to change too, unless you are a fool for even babies learn that the fire is hot. I once was a child, always out running wild but I have changed in a much wiser way for had I not learned that fire does indeed burn I would probably not be here today. Unfortunately though, there are always people we know who will not learn, and there are many around they let nothing sink in, and commit the same errors again which explains many of these lumps on the ground. It is better to be hurt and on top of the dirt if there is a chance that you could learn a good lesson death I don't fear because it's always quite near but to be alive is truly a blessing. So in some positive way, I'll become better today and I'll not make the same mistakes again should you look upon me look closely and see that I am now the best that I've ever been. by Benjamin Macieo Davis ThePrinceofPoetry

Experience, the best teacher: No matter how my father warned me...I had to learn for myself. Books can only take one so far...experience, quite often, sadly, the only true teacher. Excellent write!

I have never heard it referred to as 'a lump in the ground.' Makes you think.
