If I had been different long ago
I might not have been here now:
If I had been more defiant, less trusting
I would have had much more to show.
My parents never told me
The world can hurt and agress;
If they had been more clever
They could have explained the worry and the stress.
Now older and more defiant
I find life has passed me by
I tried to build my happiness
But on the road it does, wounded, lie.

Path of Truth may be long but sure But hypocracy doesn't for long edure. CP
At some point of time we know the wiles of the world. But Rani, your inner virtues dont accept others to be bad and remain bad for ever. You try to mend them, adjust with them. Not that u are gullible; knowingly we do mistakes. This becomes a never ending conflict with ourselves. A very good poem.
Rani my friend that is a sad poem coming from such a beautiful heart, my warmest seasonal greetings to a very dear friend 10 +++ Chris x

Responsible parents bring their children up to understand about love. If you were very much loved it is a great stepping stone to get through life. As we grow older we realize most parents do the best the way they know how. Your poem lets me into your heart and and you have written it beautifully, 10 Karin Anderson
