Sometimes you lose
Sometimes you win.
Because a simple life
is like a simple game.
Just believe in yourself
and do what is best.
Always follow your heart
but never surrender your dreams.
Sometimes you have to give up
when you should've to hold on.
For it is when you were hurt
that you can learn a lesson.
You have to feel the pain
cause life doesn't come easy.
If things were never been the same,
Yet don't say "come what may".
Because sometimes,you fall
before you fly.
Sometimes,you laugh
when you should cry.
Nothing seemed right but
sometimes,turned out fine.

- Comment from author about the poem: I've written this poem when I was only fifteen years old. It means a lot to me 'cause it was my first poem!It tells a bit about the reality of life. And it's kind of lifting someone who's down and make him/her realize that not all the time that things went wrong. I want to say through this poem that there's more to life so don't quit!

Please don't be offended....but he that trusts in his own heart is a fool,....so I take issue briefly with the second stanza. But overall, ya, the advice to keep hanging in there, sometimes it prospers and sometimes not.....don't "throw in the towel" on life so easily, eh?
I really enjoyed this poem. Its good to see a fresh poem that has a nice rhythm but no rhymes. I felt that it flowed very well, also!
I'm a first timer also. Nice to meet you. I liked your poem. It chased the old story of life and what to do about it about as well as most have been able to do.
A couple of typos, but otherwise, this is a easy one to read and some pretty good advice emits from it.
..thank you..
Beautiful expression, sometimes we forget to be thankful
