Should Have Known

A Poem About Life

By Kari HammondPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I knew I was stupid

I knew I was wrong

But yet I kept pushing on

I should have known

What life had in store

With all of its twist and turns

Snaps and breaks

With its dead ends and straight ends

I should have known

It wasn't worth it

To try for something

I knew would never happen

I thought it was okay to dream

But I began to fall

Landing in a nightmare

I should have known

That no one could ever truly love

Someone like me..

Someone who can't except reality

For what things really are

Trying to dream things

That are impossible

To think that things could work

But all they do is fall

Smashing into tiny pieces

Making all my dream explode..

I should have known

That my heart refuses to give up

To try and keep pushing on

For those dreams that will never

Become reality

For things that are to good to be true

And yet I keep trying

Oh how I should have known...

So, what I have up currently is some old pieces of stuff I did a few years ago. Trying to slowly move back into writing and am super grateful to all those who read.
