Know It All

I have fallen more than a few times, stumbled on my own two feet

I have gone the wrong way, in search of easy street

I have hit rock bottom and when i did I bounced,

hitting rock bottom again more times than I could count

I have had it easy except when things were tough

I have been sick and tired but not sick and tired enough

I have known nothing while swearing to know it all,

learned the hard way about all things big and small

I have tried and failed to find the right way to get by

always finding the wrong way because of what I failed to try

I have come to realize, go the wrong way I just might

But I have learned from my mistakes and three lefts make a right

Relative writing, love it. this is an art of learning how to survive, truly a reflection of failures and success.

The secret to survival and success is making mistakes. We evolved after millions of years of nature's trial and error. And the results are here for us to see. So is it with relationships and life! :)

Thanks!

In all the darkness, you find the torch to light the way. I carry many scars on my skin... on my soul... and I still choose to taste life's bliss. Yes, please keep learning and keep the fire burning within, dear poet.

This has a little something for everyone I think, in terms of relating to it...I like the first two and last two lines best...well done Keely^^

Life is certainly like a yo-yo...
I really love this part...

We always think we have life figured out then it proves us wrong.

the last line in this really kicks a*s. i think many of us have some of these feelings which were so eloquently described. this is a powerful and poignant write, one of which you can be proud. well done.

Or perhaps one could say; three wrongs make a write. Lol. This is a good show of character. In order to see one's self and explain the image to others is difficult and humbling. In the long run it makes one more aproachable.

I love the playful truth in this. The rhyming was awesome, the meaning even more so. Great poem ^.^

[Frieda P]

Ha, much enjoyed this one, I can relate, I live here. Good one Keely.

I love this Keely....such a testimony to learning the hard way. So sincere and expressive spoken straight from your heart. Some of us take the straight and narrow....some the long way around. Its all about the journey.
