The Lessons Learnt Along The Way Poem by Bradley John Downs

i thought you needed me,
you said you need me,
you said to me, like you had neversaid goodbye
but this isnt a song from above my eye
it comes from deep below
and another part of me begins to show

To the better me, to better thee
be the breaker on the wave line
breaking down in front of me
burnt to my own memory
building whats to come
building on the memory
of this tale to become

a journey on the way towards
a destination you seek
you embark amidst the strong
and start hunting on the weak
well prepared he said
i like it just fine
it works for me
and not only this time
gonna make it happen again
an again an again it goes
i always give it away, its coming back i know

now again to ease my soul
this time is mine i get it all
the level search is always on,
for someone else along the line.

a life that lifts the heights in a song
and climbs, sifting through the self
the lessons learnt along the way
