If only life

by Spirit   Jun 29, 2007


If my life is related to how i do in school I'd be scared
if my life is related to my friends i wouldn't care

they say friends hold you up in your darkest of times
i say my friends are what complete my life.

school is a different tale.
i mention not to you
for even though my grades are fine
my spirit is all but blue

i wish that life was like a song
and that i always had the words
so that even if i go off key
I'd know my purpose has been heard.

if only life was like a script
that told me how to be
so that I'd never be lost
from life's endless mystery

life should be a book
because what we all need
is a path to follow in life
in which someone else will lead

but life is not a friend,
not your school or a song
life is not a script, not a book
that helps us follow along

life is most like the weather
could be good, could be bad
one moment you're happy
then you're depressed or mad

what happens to us is only based on
if we're prepared when the weather changes

or if we're stuck in a rut
because you wanted things to never change

    "If only life was a script

    ^There should be a 'me' between 'told' and 'how.'

    The last stanza is very, very weak. If you're going to keep it as is, 'thing' should be plural.

    Those are the only things that could be fixed (other than capitalization!). I'm surprised so few people have commented this poem. It's actually quite good--I like your comparison of life to the weather. Very nice :)

    This wasn't your best to me of the ones I've read. Good but I know you have some better work. You should capitalize the first letter of each line. This poem did have a good meaning behind it and spoke truth in peoples lifes. I think many can relate to this. Well done on writing this. Good effot.~mel
