Learning Young

It was dark,
It was cold,

It was the saddest story ever told.

So young, they said,
So dejected and helpless.

Learning young, that the world is not kind

Learning young, that it’s not all in your mind.

Dependent on pills, drinking to cope,
You see no future, there is no hope.

You can’t remember when it started,
When would it end?

Or will it become and ongoing trend?

But you find peace,
You find love.
You find everything you’ve been looking for,
Everything, and more.

Their shadows can’t keep up,
You aren’t a puppet anymore.

Learning young, that there is light.

Learning young, that it is bright.

But you find peace,
You find love.
You find everything you’ve been looking for,
Everything, and more.

This is the beauty of tender age,but what happens when we are past young?

Powerful and good thoughts in the poetry.
"Learning young, that there is light.
Learning young, that it is bright."
When we learn the above wisdom. We have lived and learn. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

i feel like even when we have learned that, there's always much more to learn. i learn something new about myself and the universe everyday. thank you for reviewing!

You are right. Life is constant learning and change. You are welcome.

This is...pretty brilliant. I was taken down a sad and familiar road here, then the sharp turn cleverly-written was extremely refreshing...Love the line "Their shadows can't keep up" and how it all flows together.
Thanks for sharing this 1000/100
