Growing Up Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Forgetting and forgiving make real life.Beautiful.

(cont.) There is a 'saying': learn from one's mistakes. so it may not be always a good thing to bury past heartaches et al completely; i mean to not think or talk of them. to MyPoemList. bri ;)

well, i like the poem, but i would give it a different slant, so to speak. i believe the items mentioned in both stanzas can help to make one 'what they are', the 'heartbreaks' AND the 'healings', AND talking about either may be helpful at times. but not to EXCESS! (cont.)

A great write. Wonderful truth for all. Thank you dear Ruts.
