We Live And We Learn

We live and we learn
that life goes on,
even after dumb decisions


We live and we learn
that things aren't always
meant to be
even though we think  they should,
to live in the "moment"

We live and we learn
that some people aren't meant to
stay in our lives forever
because they bring nothing but misfortune
when they are down in the dumps...
they  want to take anyone they can
down with them

We live and we learn
to accept the fact that
not everyone is going to like us,
they will find some fault to have with you

We live and we learn
that people need to grow up
and stop acting like children...
well...  there are  children that act better than that....

It's a good idea, but I find the flow a little off on this one.
Also at the start you have the line:
even after dumb discussions

Would "decisions" fit better or did you intend "discussions"?

They are down in the dumps could be shortened to They are miserable or They are never happy - this can help with the flow.

When I write, I read out loud what I write (in poetry, stories are different entirely). This can help get the cadence correct.

Nice piece.. :)

Thank you very much :)

[J. Marc]

Very lucid and wise! We also live and learn to appreciate every moment, that all the people we love cannot and will not always be there! We appreciate life the more!

[Tasha]

We learn as we live, well done. This poem was inspirational and a truthful peice. A view on what we learn as we grow.

I like the repetitive line of ''we live and we learn'' it has a nice effect

[lifesmith]

I personally don't find the flow off on this one. I like it. Learning is living and living is learning, if that makes nay sense at all

[A.E. Surdam]

Excellent! A life lesson within a poem. Enjoyable and simple. Great write. :)

[Niikozilla]

This is great. It's truthful and I love that about it. Great job.
I especially like the ending, lol.

the message here is quite moving, but your layout and the vocabulary used are a bit simplistic for what needs to be said here.
