Life Lessons
This is not me writing.
This is my pen dancing.
Left to right words curve.
Spilling some thoughts I have.
What if I lend you my pain?
To be repaid with the lesson you'll gain.
What if you shared the lesson?
To free someone else from tension.
I have danced with adversity.
Dined next to uncertainty.
Life whispered a few lies.
Ending my dreams ties.
I let few mouths take my shine.
Their words enveloped this shrine.
They soiled my blinding glow.
Suffocated this creative flow.
I caressed the wrong crowd.
Blindly worshipped obvious fraud.
They took without giving back.
Drained my soul's small shack.
Never allow such to happen.
Let no one dictate when you sadden.
Live as free as eagles soaring in the blue skies.
Shine as bright as stars complementing moonlit skies.
Captured a few weeks ago... :)

There is so much I like about this poem! Normally there are one or two elements that really resonate when I read your poetry, (not that it isn't always excellent, it's just there are generally only a few elements that really speak to me on a personal level,) but there's something in every stanza in this one.
Thank you for posting!
Like most wannabe poets, I really love it when someone can relate to what I thought were my demons alone. Its always a good feeling to be rewarded with a nourishing comment!
Thank you for your read :)
