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.

i realy like it

everything is choice - so we do live and learn to chose another way of dealing with the same problems that affect us..

Everyone in life is eventually going to hurt you,
but we have to find the ones that are worth hurting for.
And, although you're totally speaking out againest my belief that you should always live in the moment because at the moment, it's exactly what you wanted, but you explained your ideas extremely well. It's rare for you (absolutely no offense)
I also like how strong you remain, although I'm a complete and total b***h when it comes to my reviews. Congratulations. You really do have raw talent, it just needs to be polished.
Message me if you would like to know what I'm talking about :) 89/100, by the way :)

T,shandra, you wrotethis poem, we live and we learn, because you needed to write it, I for one am very happy that you did, I suspect most people have had such a person in their life at some point, the trick is to recognise the signs , and do a quick exit, lesson learnt, a lesson for all in this poem, thankyou for sharing it, hugs Moonbeam.

I love the message you are conveying, it was great. The only grip I have is the structure and the random breaks that interrupt the flow of the piece. Whether you did this as a vent or not, you did a good job expressing your feelings on different topics along the poem.
