We never know if we're right
If we're not willing to be wrong.
We never know how far we'd go
If we never fight hard and long.
We never know if we're right
If we're not willing to be wrong.
We never know how far we'd go
If we never fight hard and long.
A wonderful poem and so true...
If we live in wait and hesitate, who knows what a future we would make. Life can change in an instant. Nothing is for sure. We should if we could take any...

The poem really hit home with me. I decided to use this for a compare and contrast essay for my literature class.

Have you ever fought an ego?
It's a pretty tough thing to beat
It has no face, no head, no heart
It has no hands or feet
The best day of my life,
When will it be?
When I score top grades,
Or get a meal free?
We are never finished products,
No matter how long we live.
There's always something we can add,
Like learning to forgive.
Love is like a bicycle
Left out in the storm
If it's not protected
Rust begins to form
What are the lessons that we so deeply need to learn?
Are they lessons of making things better and bright?
Are they lessons of change making things right?
What are we meant for? What does God have planned for us? We all have a purpose; that's what keeps us going, to keep living, to find out what we are meant to do in the world. God chooses our...
If you're tired of doing nothing
Rubbing your eyes until they're red
Getting bored and feeling blank
With no thoughts in your head
Never trust a white man,
Never kill a Jew,
Never sign a contract,
Never rent a pew.
Sometimes your best isn't enough
And happiness comes after sorrow
Life isn't always going to be rough
Yet, I can't speak for tomorrow
Walk where you have never been
and wonder at the beauty of this world.
Wish for the best, but work,
When I was young and insecure,
And desperate to be liked.
I tended to withdraw in pain
And flee instead of fight.
I've lived quite a while and learned quite a bit
About life and this world where we live.
I've found that it's filled with both good and the bad.
Some who take, while some others will give.
If they make you
work for their attention
fight for their affection
beg for their love
A sad truth that takes many of us far too long to realize. Just because we want something or even think we deserve it, doesn't mean we will get it or even need it.
It's sometimes hard to see
How close a virtue and vice can be,
Yet the borderline of the two
Should we respect in all we do.
Wonder what it's like to be scared every day,
Knowing war and destruction are on the way?
Not able to run and play in the park,
Never camp out in the yard after dark.
Jealousy is such an ugly beast,
Consuming in a ruthless feast,
Every thought of rational notions
Or capacity for gentler emotions,
I realize I've reached the time
When it's very plain to see
That I now must be selective
In what my preferences will be.
