Lesson Learned Poem by Raouf Reda

It’s really hard for me to admit
There are some things that I regret
Words I wish I’d never said
Stupid decisions that I did
Which took me to a bitter end
I wish I could go back in time
To diminish the curse that’s mine
But it doesn’t matter, I got the sign
When life gets much harder
It makes you much stronger
In my life some pages turned
And in pain experience earned
Realizing that the lesson learned
And every single tear I cry,
And every time I said goodbye,
I am thankful, for every break in my heart
I am grateful, for ever wounds that led to a start
Away from the death that returned
While in pain experience earned
Realizing that the lesson learned
There some signs, that I didn’t see
Bloody wars I won needlessly
The past can not be rewritten
You get the life you are given
There is nothing else can be taken
Except that in pain experience earned
Admitting that the lesson learned
