The ways of the old won't
let you pass through
the new.
Change is neither bad, nor is it good. Things can't stay the same forever.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
The world we live
in doesn't like
nice.
We live in a cruel world. I've noticed that people will walk all over you if you're nice. But the moment you strengthen yourself, they'll be begging you to go back to being nice again. We truly are living contradictions.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Don't let the rotten world
rob you of good
apples.
The world is horrible, yes. But it still has its beauty.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Some of your 'friends' will come to
see you on your knees,
broken. Be sure to
disappoint them.
Stand strong, ok?
Lyn-Purcell Aug 2017
You're a lot stronger
than you think
you are
Give yourself credit.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Stand united, fall divided.
Arise to show you
can stand alone.
There are some things that we can only do alone. There's no shame in that. When the going gets tough, prove that you have the strength to stand alone
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
A dream life exceeds real life.
Work hard to make your
dream life real.
Easier said than done, I know. But it's possible.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Sorrows and joy all
come to an end.
Life is up and down like that....
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
People swallow honey and
tell sweet lies.
A skill one needs to learn to detect...and do.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
You'll lose your battles if
you don't fight it.
Naturally.
We all have our own battles. Don't expect to get anywhere if you don't try.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Greats work as well as hack
I've experienced this since I was young. A sad truth...
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Don't stay lost in your vain
regrets of your decisions
long past.
Easier said than done, but if we are to proceed forward, we can't afford to be lost in the past.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
True hope doesn't make you feel
anxious or fearful. It doesn't
******* or bind you.
Hope is a burning flame, your light in the darkness...
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Though all days aren't good,
you have to live on.
Easy come, easy go.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
In the world we live in, love
is grass while hatred is but
a poisoned flower.
Grow and share
the sweetness
within.
Give love and eventually you will receive it.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
With time comes wisdom.
And in time, you will
be able to see many
truths in a maze
of falsehoods.
The world evolves and not for the better. To find the truth in certain things, takes time.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
We all have a flame in us.
One that is unique in
colour and fuelled
by your passions.
Don't choose
to die before
sharing its
light and
its heat.
This is something I keep telling myself anytime my mind is in a dark place and I nearly do something reckless. We're all unique. Share what your passionate about to add to the world.
Lyn-Purcell Aug 2017
Be passionate about your craft
and always try to
perfect it.
Do what you love most.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
A mistake made shall remain a
mistake if one doesn't
learn from it.
Lyn-Purcell Aug 2017
Perfection isn't just about
being in control.
Let the rawness show in what you love
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Just because one is calm does
not mean that they
accept.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Whether if it's a man's or woman's sleeve,
a sweet sweet smell
can cover the foul.
Be careful who you trust
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Sacrifice is a choice we make
while loss, unfortunately, is
bound by fate.
Lyn-Purcell Sep 2017
Though we live in a world of both truths and lies,
We are memories.
Never shall it die.
Been a while since I updated my Lessons Learned. I've got several projects to work on so I'm trying to complete them one at a time.
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
Follow the wise to
become wise.
Thought for the day.
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
Only fear what death can bring,
which is loss, not the
end.
It's only ever the end if you choose to die. Live for what you've lost.
Lyn-Purcell Aug 2017
No one can make it in
this world without
help.
It's ok to ask for help.
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
You will neither find nor gain
the time long lost.
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
Achieve what you can while you still
have flesh. So when the time,
of death comes, your
bones will sing
songs of
victory.
You only live once. Do all you can while you still have breath.
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
If you can't stay faithful,
stay ****** single.
There is no excuse for cheating...EVER -.-
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
The heart is the same as glass.
As strong as it may be, once
it begins to crack, it's harder
for it to heal, let alone
trust.
Everyone's different but pain keeps one on their toes...
Lyn-Purcell Oct 2017
If you want to have your cake and
eat it too, don't be shocked
when karma bites you.
Karma's a *****. Play with fire, you'll get burned.
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Make sure that you find
before you seek.
I know this must sound strange...What this poem is about is belief.
Basically, be sure to discover and understand before you look for what you want. Physical or not
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Tears and water are similar
but have dissimilar
tastes.
Food for thought...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Through transient lives, a cause
stands immortal.
This is based of one of my earlier poems that I wrote but it is true.
Thank you all for the people who loved Lesson Learned #57!
I was in shock when I logged in and got over 50 notifications for one poem!
First time it's happened to me.
I'm super grateful!
^-^

Don't let faults be firm
when love is
soft.
Nothing in this world is eternal. This is one of the reasons why...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Beautiful things
lead difficult
lives.
A sad truth...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Understand the noise
to value the
silence.
This is something I said to someone years ago when we were talking about depression and our hopes of finding love...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
One should be steadfast
when they bear the
fruits of peace.
Peace is beyond so much value. Unfortunately, we live in a world that there is never any profit in peace.
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Hear and see before
you speak.
Your words carry weight. Choose wisely...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Forgive and remember the wounds
afflicted. But don't let your
grudge(s) maim your
mind as
well.
This is a lesson that I struggle with from time to time. Any time I reflect on it, I feel the anger bubble in me, and I end up thinking about it all the time. Old emotions stir and old wounds open. It's a very dangerous poison. It's easy to walk away and do nothing. But to walk back and forgive is very, VERY hard. People underestimate that...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
A bad choice made again and again
is not Fate's lesson,
it's your decision.
People seem to blame their mistakes on life's unfairness. Its true, life isn't fair at all. But making that mistake twice, thrice or more when you know you can fix it, is a DECISION. Pure and simple
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Rise from the ashes
of failure without
fear and you
will burn
anew.
True failure comes from when you stop trying.
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
Friendship is a harmonious
bond between multiple
bodies.
Friendship is a song people listen and dance too but tend to miss the message...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
The hand of compassion
can heal many
wounds.
Kindness and love can go a long way...
Lyn-Purcell Jan 2018
For one to be enlightened,
their soul must shed
benightment.
We live in a world of sun and shade. Opposing sides of nature.
To bask in the light, know yourself.
Lyn-Purcell Feb 2018
Lust is one craving for your flesh and
conquest. Love is one melding
with your mind and body.
Then, and only then,
are you truly
naked.
Love and lust go in hand and hand. We live in a world concerned about lust than genuine love. This is my honest belief on what it means to be naked.
I'm old-fashioned like that - I have a retro soul by nature.
An ideal that I treasure, and one I fear has ceased to exist...
