Out of the many mistakes I have made One them still haunts me to this day. When I was young and I became desperate for money I decided to started selling weed. I made fast money and saved up a lot. But soon after I was arrested by an undercover cop. I had to stay in jail for a little while and had to go to court where I was really embarrassed by this mistake. My name made the paper and I felt so ashamed.
After getting arrested they suspended me from school until the court was finished. I was so angry because it was my most important year and being suspended from school affected my grades so much. I also was so embarrassed when I went to work they left the news paper with the page open that mentioned me in it. I grabbed all the news papers at my job and put it into my backpack to hide it from everyone. Even hiding the news paper they still called me about the situation. They told me that someone cut out the section and put it into the bosses mail box. That just angered me even more and I became so frustrated. Then the next week they called me down the office again and said someone told them that I came to work high. This made me go home and feel sad because I didn't even do drugs I was sick and tired of being picked on because of a mistake I made.
This whole situation became a blessing because I started to understand that for every action there is a reaction. For all your mistakes you make there is a consequence. This whole situation made me realize that if I do anything wrong it will change the way people look at me. Before this whole situation I was looked as a hard worker and a good kid. I became known after as A drug dealer and user even though that wasn't who i really was. But my actions spoke more then my words. So this made me realize that I had to straighten my act and become more careful because If I do bad things there will be negative consequences. This was a blessing overall because it gave me knowledge.
The science of alchemy of the mind
the mind
can be limited by time
as we grow older
our souls become colder
we forget about our dreams
as we past the age of teens
but if we dedicate and believe
reality isn't as hard as it seems
we turn our dreams into gold
the gold is the happiness of our soul
if we try our best
the rest will come and manifest
then we will achieve alchemy
we will be truly happy
to follow our dreams
no matter the extreme
with dedication
no matter the situation
like the koi fish
we will make it
and become dragons
and achieve the science of alchemy
Good post!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that this experience was quite profound - and a huge eye opener. It seems like it has taught you many things, as well. As you've previously written, this experience opened new doors - motivated you to get out of some bad situations - motivated you to take charge and do the right thing.
That's alchemy at its best.
It's a turn around.
Good work! Your poem is quite creative. I particularly like the use of koi fish and dragons. Good imagery.

One suggestion: try to write a little more in each paragraph. Expand on your thoughts and lengthen your story.
