Something . . . . . . . . . . .

Something that life has taught me,
you can be as close to a person,
only as much the person wants you to be,
Fact of life , live with it or just die.

Something that love has taught me,
relationships are meant to mend or to break,
Love an oddysey you want to live with,
you need to try hard to live without.

Something that friendship has taught me,
It takes just a remark to liven a day,
Remark good or bad,
One's misery is the other's happiness.

Something that work has taught me,
The more harder you try,
Lesser are the chances of success,
Let things be, see the difference.

Something that nature has taught me, 
You are a reflection of something else,
The harder you try to be different,
The more the similarities become apparent.

Something that music has taught me,
Every tune exists in the universe,
The quality depends on the composer,
It could be smash hit or a flop.

Something that emotions have taught me,
The more you emote, the more you are vulnerable,
Vulnerable you definitely will be,
Once the tears dry up, human you no longer will be.

Something that intoxication has taught me,
The more you drink, 
the more you speak, 
more relationships you damage.

Something that women have taught me ,
You love  a woman and you need to unify the world,
But if she loves you with her heart and soul,
your life is done , you will die a happy man

Something that money has taught me,
The more you crave for it,
The more you find your necessaties,
Contentment would negate all these,
But alas! you would then be a man with satiable desires

Something that imperfections have taught me,
nature, work music and  emotions,
virtually complete your life,
Intoxications woman money and love, 
they just help you blur these imperfections.

simply sublime!
i am not a fan of prose poem , but your poem is simple awesome. one thing, the word used are complete in themselves. there are no implications, nothing is hidden, every stanza is self supported. your writing ( and your thinking) most definitely has crossed a milestone. congrats!

Amazing, have read it multiple times after u published it. Guess at that time was on a different stage in Life & kind of identified with a situation then .....

the lines :-
1. "you can be as close to a person,only as much the person wants you to be,Fact of life , live with it or just die."

2."But if she loves you with her heart and soul,your life is done , you will die a happy man"


But read it again after almost 4-5 months & these are the lines I admired this time over:

1. "Something that imperfections have taught me,nature, work music and emotions,virtually complete your life,Intoxications woman money and love, they just help you blur these imperfections."

2.Something that friendship has taught me,It takes just a remark to liven a day,Remark good or bad.

Something I didn't agree to then & feel the same now:

1. Something that work has taught me,The more harder you try,Lesser are the chances of success,Let things be, see the difference.

2. One's misery is the other's happiness
