PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You know,

As you go on through life,

Things get taken from you.

But,

You seem to only learn that

When you start loosing stuff...

And then,

Here comes that old cliche

Moseying on down the way,

Saying,

"You don't know what you've got

Until it's gone"



What I think in my own opinion

Is that people don't understand

The truth.

Behind,

Within,

And at the beginning

Of that statement...



Because what happens,

At the end of a life,

Is, too many regrets.



And in knowing that,

You would think we, as people,

Would make better decisions...

But instead,

We allow the fear of knowing

The truth.

To govern our existence -



But,

What people don't realize,

Is that

We are all human.

And we all.

Have the world on our shoulders...



So,

My advice,

As I can only give it

From one human being to the next.

Is that

No, one person, has it worse

Than another.

We ALL have it "bad."

Just in different ways.



However,

What helps the bad,

By creating more good.

Is recognizing the

Humanism

IN ALL OF US!

And using that recognition

To allow forgiveness.

Because you yourself

Have made your own mistakes...



This consequently gives you

The wherewithal

To forgive

The Father or Mother

That was never there,

Or the Father or Mother that beat you,

Never said "I love you"

Or made you feel unwanted...



Because they only did what

They knew, know, felt

And feel at the time.

And knowing that, you will realize,

That you have every right

To point out their wrongs

In your own opinion.

And they have every right

As a human being

To know their mistakes.



Such a recognition and nurturing of another's

Humanity,

Rather than the abandonment of such,

Blossoms, into so many greater things.

And it may take every ounce

Of confidence you have.

And you may not really know what to say.

But if you get there,

The words will find you.

And things will go

The way they will.



You have every right to be wrong,

And more importantly

You have every right to know

When you're wrong,

So that you have the chance,

Before it's all over...

To make wrong, right -



Now,

I have my regrets,

But not enough

That, it's worth mentioning.

And,

Although it pains me,

Nurturing the humanity

In those around me.

I know that in my future

Are better days.

Because I know.

That if I'm gonna have

Any life

Anymore.

Then that's the way I need to be.

Because,

That is what I deserve -



As a human being.
