You came here as a new-born

You played a lot and made things torn

Your baby toys and your car's horn

Then you grew up to your teen-age

You got anger quick and began to rage

All the parents care, You declared a cage

Married life that you'd always wanted

Screwed up when your kids shouted

Then you realised what you had planted

You regretted a lot and began to shout

You missed your parents that seemed you loud

Sadly they were gone and that was all about

Authors Notes;

--- A person only gets to know others pain when he suffers himself ---

Thank you a lot! It means everything to me <3

    Wow, this poem really captures the ups and downs of life! It beautifully describes the journey from childhood to adulthood, with all its innocence and challenges. The imagery of torn toys and the metaphor of a "cage" really hit home and convey those feelings of frustration and being stuck. The poem also does a great job of expressing the emotions of missing our parents and understanding the consequences of our actions. And that closing note really drives home the importance of empathy and learning from our struggles. This piece really makes you think about life and the lessons we learn along the way. Great job!
