Poem found within the pages of "Through the Maze of Life"


Poem Artwork

i become who i am through my experiences
what happened yesterday develops into who i am today
how i perceive events will be how i think
who we are today was shaped by yesterdays mishaps

this is what life is all about good or bad
it is how mankind had grown through the eons
it is also how we grow in our own lifetime
who we are today was shaped by yesterdays mishaps

our surroundings and events shape who we become
without them we do not develop we become stagnated
our emotions and personalities are self centered only
who we are today was shaped by yesterdays mishaps

the tradegies screw ups and even the happy moments
all shape our thoughts and responses to others
we learn patience compassion love and even understandings
who we are today was shaped by yesterdays mishaps

it is sometimes through our hurting others that we need to grow
by seeing the pain we cause we expand our world to let them in
when we experience our pain we can then relate to others
who we are today was shaped by yesterdays mishaps
