What Have I Learned

That nothing in life comes without a cost not a price tag but, something more at depth To truly live u must have been close to death at a time in your life because in a blink of an eye everything u know u could forget That money and possessions don't mean anything for if u do not have a soul A life of emptiness and regret is not a life at all in order to have loved you have had to lost to know the pain of living without someone that u must still live on To love yourself can be one of the greatest conquests to see what others see when they look at you is something the complete opposite of what your reflection is when u look at yourself To love someone else to be completely valuable undressed and completely nude to unbear your heart, body and soul to let someone let u be unbroken, unsold The answers are simple life is a puzzle you never get all the pieces or clues every day is a challenge every day is a blessing some people stay some people go broken hearts come and go love will always stay true with the people we know Forgiveness is a part of life the old saying " if you can't forget you can't forgive" the hatred, anger inability to grow is this really not worth letting go You don't have to forget but, u have to forgive one day at a time one moment one minute for if u don't u stop the ability to grow Second chances are seldom and free I've had a couple if you never change your past your future is doomed Break the chains and be free If u forget everything in life listen to me I have been a tortured soul I have been down and out been ripped a part beaten and bruised almost gave up God only knows If people didn't fight for me I would have no survived So I have learned the good, the bad and even the ugly define who u are what u will be rise above and be set free

Hi Amanda, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
