PoetsTruMental: Lesson Earned From Lessons Learned

Lesson Earned From Lessons Learned (Learn From What You've Learned)

My life is like a war

And every battle within teaches a lesson.

The first battle told me,

Fight with all weapons-

From career, love, equality, to self-preservation-

Doesn't matter the front!

I have the skills and natural ability

To achieve what I want!

So I advanced forth by loving with my intelligence;

Moving with my strength;

Pushing with my agility;

And thinking with my heart & my length.

Luckily, life is just a game.

I died on all fronts at least once.

Change is dire to stay alive,

Opportunities won't come as often as I want.

Can't wait on the next battle to tell me,

I need be prepared and preemptive.

The lessons learned are being misinterpreted.

Somehow, I need to make sense of it.

My last battle was a gauntlet-

Foe after foe after foe-

And the lesson I learned was pretty clear,

Contend with all that I know.

[A moment of reflection]

What is it that I am comfortable using?

I fought with them all!

Then why am I losing?

Application is everything!

That's my personal lesson.

I'll be more selective when I fight the world,

With my natural given weapons.

But damn,

I'm still learning.
