I just had to bump. It is a very simple and beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.


I think I got everything backward.
I do not judge but criticizes..I know all my faults.. though some say those are my greatest virtues. But, it is hard to mend what has not let you down.
I talk without thinking, it shows how I really am. If I stop talking, I tend to be scary. It is hard for me to forgive but easier to ask for forgiveness. I hardly like rules, but I follow the rules to the word.. which makes it easier to bend. I got no dreams to fight for.. sad but true. I am a bad winner, and a great a loser. I do not enjoy life, but I give it value. I do not like to promise. It binds me. I do not say I love, nor I show it. Now.. I cannot see the other side of the moon.. never thought of it.. probably in a dream I did. I learn from my mistakes, but I am skeptic and I skeptic.. I have to try again.. (repeating a behavior or thought expecting a new outcome when the outcome has not change after many trials can be consider insanity) I do not think bad of others, but I do doubt. It is harder for me to receive than to give (too proud to take things). I am a loner by choice, the friendships i have are for years ago and years to come and we hardly talk.

Not all of those things are difficult, but perhaps that's thanks to practice. I think it really depends on the person.
