Life Lessons Poems - Poems about Life Lessons

I have learned that hate is stronger and lasts longer than love. I have learned that those who 'forgive and forget' are often made to regret. I have learned to heal and to cope you don't need a ray of hope. I have learned that smiles which lie can let you die. I have learned that compliments are fake, like sprinkled sugar on a...

I carry a war inside me — no guns, no blood, no trenches — just the heavy silence that screams, that crawls under my ribs and digs like a thief in the night. They see me smiling, a painted mask, a borrowed script, never the wild, tangled mess beneath — the dark roots of despair twisting around my broken bones. I am the woman who...

Cosmic dance With a shooting star flow Hear the heart beats from the galaxies surrounding us both This is a one of a kind, Outta this universe typa love Can only be created & felt by us Skipping past the black holes Like we ain't know That they could swallow us whole Blinded by a dying star Exploding every color We know--so far This lifetime ain't nothin...

The Honest Man The man who seeks then speaks truth Tends to receive abuse From others who simply don't understand An honest man’s point of view. But in all reality, When people aren’t honest with themselves or others, The truth will, unfortunately, make a person feel smothered. What is meant by smothered is going into defense mode, A zone where it’s now hard to...

I pay attention. I see the sadness in a young schoolgirl’s eyes When she has been cruelly ridiculed and ostracized. For what? She doesn’t look the same As others; too tall, too fat, too blonde. Does she have the wrong last name? I pay attention. I see the old woman setting alone on her sunny porch Accompanied by lush green plants silently...

Why is the sky blue? Asked Jimmy Fantastic question! Why indeed? Why did The Creator Whether God or Science or a Scientific God Choose blue Instead of forest green, pale yellow, or maroon? Is it because the day seems cheerier The world brighter The people friendlier Due to the color overhead? A Mount Everest of evidence shows Humans are happier Outside Under the blue. So, why...

In the classroom of the Cosmos Experience is the just and thoughtful Master. She taxes us to teach us strength, plays silent games to teach us laughter. How can we scorn Her wisdom, and cry She's been unfair, if the Lessons bring us closer to the Truth of who we really are? It's so much easier not to strive for...

Doctor Fell taught at University Park, like stars gather for enlightenment; And was stern, diligent and upright, like pink cactus bloom environments. He was dedicated to his striving students, although strict about lessons; And there were penalties for those missed, like when grape sun lessens. Doctor Fell abided by obeying rules, feeling students needed a firm hand. Infractions...

It seemed like mistakes took away my sails I felt worthless, overlooked, and destined to fail Life is what you make of it, a fortune cookie reads Just another analogy overlooked, indeed.

You turned your back while facing towards me A spin like no other, right out of my life Comfort vanquished in a minute of pain With every moment that passed, my heart sank My tears spiked the ground that you dared ti walk on No amount of conversation could stop this Running behind someone that never turned...
