Life Lessons Poems - Poems about Life Lessons

Dreams

Every wonder where they come from?
I’m just glad that I still get some.
Sometimes they’re pleasant and seem good,
sometimes vague and misunderstood.

At times they’re funny or bizarre,
like riding on a shooting star.
Often it seems they’re teaching me,
past life lessons I didn’t see.

Sometimes one seems like dejavu,
in another time I was you.
Then there was one, I wasn’t

Price Of Knowing

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

The invisible war

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

Hearts in the market

 
 If hearts were sold in the market, 
People would stand in queue 
Fighting for buying the good one 
Without realising that 
the best in the world is inside them.

-Thaqiya/lazybirdnest

 

Cosmic dance

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

Perspectives

A symphony’s no symphony if it is never heard
A poem is no poem at all if it contains no word

A rainy day’s a rainy day unless it brings some joy
A prized possession’s valueless if treated as a toy

A summer is not summer if winter frosts still fall
A bitter heart’s no blessing for it is closed

Lessons You Don’t Expect

Lessons you don’t expect are the best kind
Like broken bones and hearts
But also, even better
The kind of things small children teach
Things like appreciation of now
And play and unbridled enthusiasm
For what can be
Just around the corner
Because, you know, we all deserve
The best life we can have
Including broken bones and hearts,
What waits around that corner,
And whatever is

The honest Man

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

PAY ATTENTION

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

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

Embrace the Lessons

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

Less Than Words Can Tell

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.

Give Me More Time

The crossroads of life 
Help develop a sense of purpose 
On what really matters the most 
Time is now 
The most precious moments are you still here 
Balancing a day of love and happiness 
That holds dear to your heart 
Only to disappear 
The moment time passes you by 
Having regrets 
Only to spurn them

Life Lessons

To whom it may concern;
Key lessons I have learned:
Strive to make the right turn

Never weep over spilled milk; pour another glass
Nothing comes to stay. Everything comes to pass
Of loving and being loved, strive to make it last

Unknown Growth

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.

 

To tangle with this beast, you must better your routines

 

More work than meets the eye is needed behind the scenes
