Mistakes Shape Us

by MzKhan   Dec 23, 2007


No1 likes to be decieved
& instead of truths, lies are believed.

Hearts start beating someones name
but in the end only pain and tears came . . .

Schools so shit. . .half failed
Others in jail waiting to get bailed

Boys thinkin their friends got their back
Shit goes down, he gets punched out...;smack.

Girl trusts and has too many friends
Lies. . .rumors...tht shit never ends

Mothers upset. .. losing hope
Daddy ashamed, hangs from a rope

Little girl plays on the street
. . .Car passes by; shes knocked off her feet

Homeless man beggin for change
while the strippers naked dancin on stage

Whatever the case, life is unpredictable
Mistakes shape us. . . there unforgettable.

    True in some parts. You have an understanding of what you want to write about. Trusting in people can be hard. Sometimes we trust the wrong people, but I think that doesn't mean you should not be open to new people. There are a lot of people who make that mistake.
    I like the ending verses, they really finished up the poem well.
    Liked it a lot.
