Life As We Knew It

Life As We Knew It

Life is really simple
But we make it complicated
We let our lives abrogated
Let reality be reality


If we want to change our lives
We need to stretch our minds
Stand up and be proud
Learn to smile and shroud


Learn to first love yourself
Nothing in life is to be feared
Never quit from what you want
Our life is like a highway
Full of twist and turns


Do not dwell in the past
Look straight to your future
Roam around and have a great adventure
Let God be the center of your life
Where you can find peace

Author's Note

Always be happy and always remember that everything happens for a reason we may have problems but always look to the brighter side. Remember that God loves you as much as you love yourself!

Wow.. Nice writing. Keep writing. If possible then Do u read my writing Anguish?

[Cassie]

Hm, not yet. I'll try to read it. =)))))

"Where you can find peace" Kudos!

[Cassie]

That was also my favorite line. Thanks for reading! =)))

a very uplifting piece. In life everything revolves around in choices. An God gives us free will to choose whatever path we follow. It is just a matter on how we handle things with careful understanding. God is love, then love yourself first, learned to be thankful on many little things. Big things comes in small simple packages. "Life As We Knew It", its a complex idea... nice work ms. Cassie.

[Cassie]

Thankyou! =))

[Pax]

you are welcome!

i completely loved this poem Cassie:) this poem has a sweet innocence of a child telling the simple truth about life, that its not actually complex, but we people make it to be:)

i enjoyed the entire write bu these lines were my favorite:):

"If we want to change our lives
We need to stretch our minds
Stand up and be proud
Learn to smile and shroud"

"Learn to first love yourself
Nothing in life is to be feared
Never quit from what you want
Our life is like a highway
Full of twist and turns"
this stanza reminds me of the time i have been encouraging people around me n my friends, in harsh faces of life:)

"Do not dwell in the past
Look straight to your future
Roam around and have a great adventure
Let God be the center of your life
Where you can find peace"

and i love this last stanza because this is exactly what i do, happy to know you do, and i have been telling people to do the same:)

so, overall i loved the entire composition and agree with it:)
well done:)

[Cassie]

Life is really wonderful if you'll look to the brighter side. Thanks for reading! =)))

[Saumya]

you re very welcome:)

Your sentiment is wonderful. People often blame external factors on the woes afflicting them, without turning their gaze inward to find that many of their issues are born from within. If you are happy with yourself, constantly striving to improve and to relish the splendour of the world, then the world in turn will seem a warmer, kinder place. Great poem :)

[Cassie]

Thank you people often see the world full of sorrow of pain but they did not know that in life we just have to be happy, we have to let go of all the things that would destroy and most of all God will always be there for us! =))

[Ry]

I commend you for this inspiring piece, Cassie. I agree with your note above. Indeed we must always look at the brighter side of life because God won't leave us...

[Cassie]

You're welcome.

I think you're making some tense mistakes such as past and present ex. Stood is supposed to be stand and found is supposed to be found. I think this is very innocent and straightforward it's very empowering :)

[Cassie]

Found is supposed to be find. lol thanks! didn't notice that.
