We're All Adults Now

I know I've made mistakes in my life,
But at least I have come to recognize them.

I've tried to mend friendships, but in return,
I was pissed on and cheated by those seeking revenge.

Was it really worth it, now knowing,
Instead of breaking me piece by piece,
You made me a hell of a lot stronger?

To all of those who resent or even hate me:
Have you checked youself, and acknowledged where YOU went wrong?
Why must you focus your attention on me?

I've always been mature,
But I've grown even more.
Settle your issues once and for all.
We're ALL adults now.

Author notes

This is to many people. I've let go of so many things that have happened in my life, but yet there are so many people who just won't let things go; even things SOOO long ago.

I would also like to make it a point to say that just because I don't talk to you doesn't mean I hate you or still hold a grudge. I just know what has happened in my past, and use that experience to make wise decisions to stay away from those who may cause problems.

What did you think?

    i loved the msessage in this. you spoke very clearly, and i could feel your emotions coming through.
    from a technical standpoint, there aren't a lot of poetic elements in this, however i feel that it's appropriate for the piece.
    good write.

    I've forgotten many things and none of them has been you. Be it good or bad, does it really matter? When we truly learn from everyone and every experience.

    Great Points

    I feel you and your thoughts on this subject. Why is it that people always try to mend things that will never go away? Just because you forgive them does not mean you will forget. A mature person will never forget, but will always forgive in time. But sometimes that is not for the immature person who wronged you. FIgures right? lol. Anyway, like I said great thoughts!

    Wow

    I can totally relate to this as I went through a experience quite recently that had this effect on my life. I like the anger within the tone and I think it works really well. Great job : )

    This reminds me of how my mom says she feels at work. especially the first three stanzas.
    I PERSONALLY LOVE HOW IT FEELS JAGGED AND HAS A MIXED FLOW. IT ADDS TO THE EMOTION OF BEING TREATED AS YOU HAVE. GREAT WRITE

    i like the idea but i think something should be done to make it flow, like a poem instead of just sentences put together. its a good idea but a bit more work should be done.

    Ahhhhhh feelings, you lay them out there, for all to see and take what they feel like. true some people never grow up, its easier to remain a child, then find excuses for their conduct. Whether we want to or not, life brings us to that stage, where we must act as adults, or else. Loved this one. Keep penning.
