A New Dawn

the days and nights...
cluster like rotten dust
mistakes from times
of youthful lust

for there's a change, that even with regret,
cannot be undone.
like the lonely and the fearless...
from glories lost and gone
and as the rains pour to cleanse our path...
of reckless deeds and scars of wrath
the nights unfold, and memories pass;
leaving the ruins of past bygone....
through a route of thorns and broken glass!

do not mistaken me for a dying tune
nor stare with sympathy or regret...
we all have chosen roads, and goals we have set
but please;
do walk away and claim we've met...
i do not know you, nor myself i bet...
the day's still young though,
and the leaves are wet...
the moments will come...
when i'll stand erect...
just as i do now,
with this weight off my chest!

This poem talks about, the flaws and recklessness of the young, but the flawless confidence in bouncing back, and arriving, not too late, at the shore to whitness the new sunrise. My fav parts were:

do not mistaken me for a dying tune
nor stare with sympathy or regret...
we all have chosen roads, and goals we have set

Thanks for sharing.

This was very good. Amazing, even. It tells how everyone makes mistakes and we all get over it. Even if it takes a while.
Great job,
Jade

This was a wonderful read once again!!! It shows the gritty truth that when it comes right down to it we are all human and make mistakes and by that not to judege a person by the ones that they make. I loved this poem for the fact that it was raw true emotion and you had the courage to write such a piece. I look forward to reading more of your work!!!

Wonderful write...each line was full of emotion...mistakes cannot be undone, but we can learn from them, make peace with our past and move on, thats life....loved this poem.

Never forgiving yourself, never giving another chance - even though you are worthy. But if you still can't let it go - make it beautiful - a beautiful scar, an unforgettable deed. I like your emotional rant here and wouldn't change a word of it.

the waking- making of a brand new day, your words speak poetically and
compassionately convicning, passionately done and rings with the air of insight
that allows the reader to fully emphasize with the meaning,
brilliantly written.
