Was

Knowing the difference between

wrong and right

trying to make peace

trying to stop the fight

wanting to be talented

anything is possible

hoping to accomplish so much

is everything plausible

learning to be knowledgeable

answering everything throw your way

knowing all of the random facts

intelligence in every word you say

trying to lead a good life

having some, working for some

good morals, pure heart

now only one thought to come

it's coming to an end

you're walking out of the door

what was the point?

what was it all for?

Well... I don't know what to say after this one. A good kind of speechless feeling.

Your author's note "opinions" seems to sum it up tho. I really like how you placed thoughts and questions into this poem.

You state so much about life in this poem, it just all seems so true.

I can't help but be fixed on this part here, that I like in the beginning:
"trying to make peace
trying to stop the fight"

Very powerful. It makes me think, what is the point of trying to be a good person and then I think of the moral value. People want to believe that if they are a good person they'll be rewarded, which is not always the case.

A very strong and powerful poem. This is wonderful. It seems to say, "Hey, I am trying world" I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing.

I like it Josh! The rhythm is good and you treat the subject well of our struggle as humans to do the right thing in the waxing and waning of life and love... keep on reflecting :)

Nice write, I it was actually right along with my views on life... Well I mean the:
"it's coming to an end
you're walking out of the door
what was the point?
what was it all for?"
It's like everything we want to accomplish and will accomplish, in the end, even if the deeds lives on through memory it will eventually be forgotten... Anyways, great write!
