Best Lessons in Life... by ~Immortal-Phoenix:iconImmortal-Phoenix:



If I were to identify myself as your flesh and blood,
I'd be puttin shame on my name -somethin I refuse to do.
I hear songs about men wantin to be half the dads there's were for them.
Well all I got's a father, and a mother who's only half of what I already am.

When I'm older I'll be four times what anyone was for me,
cause the shit you put me through is unheard of!
and the system meant to protect
didn't do shit for me!

So where does that leave me?

A beaten and battered body,
doesn't have to lead to a beaten and battered soul.
I learned that,

but not from you.

A cold heart can be thawed out,
I learned that,

but not from you.

Everyone is lovable; deserves love,
I learned that,

but not from you.

You don't have to turn to drugs & alcohol
to soothe the pain,
I learned that,

but not from you.

All that bullshit about me bein worthless isn't true,
I learned that,

and the worst part is

it wasn't from you

They call it P.M.S. because "mad cow disease" was already taken.

i know it says advanced critique encouraged, but it rocks the way it is. sometimes the best stuff we write is straight from our hearts to the paper.

"Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome, con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podría amar a ti"

yeah, I left that in case someone had something to help out with -so they wouldnt be afraid to put it-but ultimately I love this the way it is.

thank you

hey man, that's like, bad ass. i have a suggestion, but i don't know which direction you are going with it. is this, i'm pissed because you never taught me the things i needed to know? or is it, i'm glad because i learned these things on my own without you? because, depending on which direction this is going will depend on, i guess, what i have to say to critique it. if it's, i'm pissed bc you never taught me, then i'd go with, the "worst part is..." but if you're like, i'm glad i learned these things on my own, then i'd go with "the best part is it wasn't from you." just something to think about, i suppose. just a spelling error and a gramatical error as well. u spells their's wrong. u used "there's" instead of "theirs." maybe instead of commas in some places, you shoulda left them out. and then where you wrote, "everyone is loveable;deserves to be loved" you could have used "and" but u know, a ; works too =) other than that, i think it's pretty awesome.
