The Good Life

Something happy for a change

While riding my bike

With the broken brakes

I decide to skid to a  stop

to reflect on my mistakes

I shouldn't have procrastinated so much

On rewriting my Science project

And I'm pretty sure that my grade will show it

But now that I know this

There nothing else I can do

But learn from it

 

So now.

Instead of thinking about my mistakes

I'm going to think about my Lessons

Cause it's a new year

And my slate starts over

That's the best part

I've got a new look on life

And from this high hill

I've reached on my bike

It looks pretty nice

 

I mean,

Look at all that I need to be grateful for

The grades that I strive to get

Food

Clothes

A bed...

I shouldn't be unhappy,

I've got all that I need

What's done is done

Be it a good or a bad deed

I've got a house

A little sister

Two dogs

And a whole bunch

Of family

That like to smother me with hugs

I'm loved

 

The road ahead of me is unclear

It's true

But I've no reason to be sad and blue

I have to feel my way through

The fog,

The new

Of the world

I'm too young to run

Away

From emotions like

Fear

Trust

And

Hate

I've just got to make

The most of my days

I never know when my creator

Will Choose

To take

them away....

 

If the truth will set me free

Then truthful I will be

I'm not going to hide my feelings

We're human beings

We have a right to feel

We have a heart

We have the will power

To control when the tears will spill

But we shouldn't hold them in

No one will ever know

If you never show

Love this it's quite clever

[Davidgeo]

That's the fanciest flow I've read in weeks... months maybe.

I like this poem a lot. I agree with everything in it. Well done.
