Be able to...

Don't judge me,

I know my life ain't perfect

but it's not that bad?

I've been through some bad things

but I've experienced some good.

 

'Put a smile on your face,

you look better when you smile,

your green eyes glisten,

and you make me warm inside'

 

'Live life to the full,

even if you have no reason too'

 

'Been better, been worse'

 

These are the words I live by,

either what I've made up,

or what I've been told.

 

What I expect from life?

Goes untold even to myself.

What I do know is that...

 

 

I wanna be able to smile

at least once a day.

I want to be able to laugh

when things don't go my way.

I want to be able see

especially through the dark.

I want to be able to show

without leaving a mark.

 

Too much to ask?

Well maybe it is,

but I'll spend my life trying

because in my opinion..

 

'Life's worth the try'

A lot of good wisdom in your words. We need to look for the good in a life. We need to smile and laugh. Life is hard enough.

especially through the dark.

"I wanna be able to smile
at least once a day.

And so it is love! Life is but a test we all have to question and search through! Powerful poem xx

[Kenneth The Poet]

Nice work, this is why adults should write off teenagers as know-nothing, ignorant pipsqueaks, but there is one piece of wisdom I offer, age brings on tougher, harsher experiences and that is when the message is needed even more.
