PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You want everything to be just fine

Like the stories you read but never write

You have to learn to live

And live and learn

Without being afraid of getting burned

Learn to have some fun in the sun

And take a swim on the western rim

You have to be willing to fly if you want to have it all

And you have to be willing to fall

Sometimes you take, sometimes you give

But most of all, you have to live

You can’t be willing to die

Without first having your piece of the pie

You can write your name on the sidewalk

But the rain will come and wash it off

But if you write it in wet cement

Maybe people a long time from now will come and know just what you meant:

A different ending to this fairytale

And the sunset into which you sail
