There was an actual time in my life
that I was completely lost and alone
alone, even when I was in company
see, I used to choose the wrong people
lack of life experience
I lacked confidence
I let others who were bullies take me down
and even though that time in my life was
painful and dark
I was fragile
and couldn't see my way through
to the beauty of possibility
In the end, I did
even today, I have no regrets
because
It was my personal learning curve
fortunately, I gained my knowledge
I gained my courage
I grew to love myself
and now a day’s
my heartstrings no longer play like a harp.

A story of learning through youth and its bumps. So nicely told in concise and organized form. Well done
Thank you so much dearest sorrenbarret 🌹
I guess that’s where metal and acid rock was birthed, life’s school of hard knocks, scrapes and bruises. My own version of that threw the harmonica in with the harp.
lol I would like to believe I'm more soft rock like Lionel Richie and Bonnie Tyler (heartache) 🤣 but I reckon you may have a great metaphor poem with acid rock and metal, that\'s brilliant, yes bumps and bruises we all behold don\'t we. Ah thank you so much dear friend. 🌹
Might be a fun write there! I shall queue it up… cheers 👍🏻
Oh...dear Teddy, I love this poem. I have no doubt you rocked then too, but you had yet to discover that fact about yourself and you've come into your own since then. A survivor. This poem tells the tale of youth, growth and resilience. You do, indeed, rock...my dear friend and this is a real write of empowerment. One that I feel many will relate with and find healing in reading. I know I relate! 💯 Well done! 🌹👏
I am always around to help others, I am fortunate to have an abundance of compassion and empathy. Thank you dearest Tristan. You rock too. 🌹
I'm glad you found yourself, Sweet Teddy. And I'm glad I found you.
Your poetry has inspired me so much dearest Thomas thank you, with all my heart.
Life can be hard at times Teddy but you have got through and are now the wonderful person you have become.
Andy
