First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. - Gandhi


I am a child struggling to be an adult

I am loyal to my friends and family to a fault

 

I love to live
I live to love

 

I’ve found that our time is short
This time until we kiss the sky above

 

I dream to live
I live in dreams

 

And most people would too
If they’d seen the same things

 

It hurts to live

I hurt it live

 

Eat or get eaten
Get beat or do the beating

 

Life is hard no big surprise

But it doesn’t help when you go up on lies

 

Mom loves Dad
Ha … only until things get bad

 

They love me
Until they don’t like what they see

 

I live in darkness
I live in light
I am the line
So all is right

Truth has many shades. It's not a matter of black and white, but many grays.

i love how you put this so bluntly, you put emotion and feeling in short lines... only a powerful poet can do this, and you did it! :) keep writing!!!!
