Learning Curve

Learning Curve

Unique to my total dedication to knowledge.

Few take advantage,

But most let it go to waste.

In spite of the adversities,

Success is all I desire!

Not falling for the bait of lies,

So I follow my heart more often than my eyes.

I have come too far to allow the pirates to retrieve the prize.

Live with hope and faith instead of envy and despise.

I’m full of sorrow when I hear people and nature cry.

With perseverance I try to bring joy,

Though the stigma of non-acceptance thrives

And tries to break me down.

It’s the same nightmare over and over again.

Am I to be haunted by this?

I have been apart of too much tragedy to be polite,

But my soul remains to burn and shine bright!

Lend me your hand please!

I’m not here to harm you...

I really like this piece... like the purpose and especially these lines... "Live with hope and faith instead of envy and despise. I’m full of sorrow when I hear people and nature cry." We can't waste time in life living with envy and despise... we have to love with hope and faith as that is what will carry our happiness. Awesome work buddy!

Thank you so much for reading Aaron and I'm really glad those lines stood out to you.
Very different from what I been hearing.

[Snow]

This is basically my high school life. Its beautiful and extremely relatable.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm so glad that it was something that you can make a connection with and thank you for thinking it was beautiful.
Thank you Miss Snow. =D

[National Acrobat]

Is this taken from Mein Kampf? ha! sorry
Very nice job though man.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading.
Um, I'm not sure who Mein Kampf is...?

[National Acrobat]

Ah sorry, Hitler's book
no offense I just read it in his perspective and it fits lol
good write nevertheless :)

[National Acrobat]

As close as you can get to his perspective I mean * :$

[TheOne&Only]

A very interesting write. I enjoyed the insight of a tormented soul not allowing it to define you as a person. I think everyone has a dark side to them but when you find reason and purpose to be better then it...you will. And the fight only makes you stronger. Love it.

[sinNsincerity]

Always stronger!
I'm glad that you loved it as well as what you got out of it!
Thank you so much for reading hon.

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

So I follow my heart more often than my eyes.

What a great line and motto to live out. I enjoyed the flow and spirit of the piece!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much for reading Crystal and I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!

I love this poem so much especially the line "So I follow my heart more often than my eyes", I do the same, its a risk, a risk many should take, you may just find happiness in it, People will always run into pain, whether taking a chance in something or not.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes exactly. For me at least, I find real happiness when I lose myself and just let life take control.

[xbxbzdvdsv]

Yes!! I agree, I think it's worth the experience.

[sereenaoutloud]

To over come such pain, to push through the nightmare of it all.. as the past lingers trying to cling on while you are trying to break free from it and move on ....Yes you are a bright soul SweetSin and you deserve your time to shine!!
Just loved this one...it was like you were speaking to us all (if that make sense) !! :)

[sinNsincerity]

It makes total sense to me hon and I totally love what this poem relayed to you!

[Rana]

This sounded like the story of a student, enthusiastically learning while also observing other students around him and fighting non-acceptance. It's like a race, isn't it, some try to reach the finishing line while others lose their sense of direction and become obstacles for the dedicated ones. There are a lot of positive and inspiring lines in your poem here, and as long as they remain in the heart of the student as well, there are the greatest chances of success. Great piece!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Rana. I really love where you went with this.
That's how I always lived my life, as a "watcher," and would just lean how to live mine by observing everyone and everything around me. I also use to see it a*s a race, but I now see that it is not for me. I learned that it's okay to take on journeys we may not ever understand and to get lost in the woods...
Thank you so much for reading.
It was a pleasure to hear your thoughts!

Living in happiness is a very personal thing to do
Enclosed in pure love towards oneself and everyone
That's the trick

Let light shine from within
Always

[sinNsincerity]

Always from within!
Thank you Nisreena!
