You will never appreciate the good,
Until you have experienced the bad.

^^Those lines are soooo good! Woweee. Taha.

This was a really really really great poem, Darien! Annnnd, I get to be the first to comment it. Yay.

I love it. you are such a good writer.
i'm jealous.

"You will never appreciate the good,
Until you have experienced the bad."

- Very well expressed lines, indeed. I have to agree with Natalie, you have really looked into the thoughts of society today and have explained your views towards them. I was recently commenting on a poem Jeff (currently known as "Gangster of Love) wrote, which also highlighted how younger people particularly feel towards life. I think people like you and Jeff are really helping out individuals who are generally confused and terrified of the darker side of life; and what both of you highlight is that there IS a brighter side to it, and taking a look there won't do any harm to you.

An excellent piece, with a constant flow. Well done, Darien :).

I lov the ending. it should be a quote to. the poem itself have a very strong meaning. it really made think. gr8 job:)

Awh, Darien, you give such good advice. =P I liked this, it was refreshing to just read something real.. If that makes sense. It was very effective and really makes the reader think. It is also a poem that I think a lot of people on this site should see. It has a lot of meaning to it and as I said before great advice. I love the last two lines, that should be like a famous quote! "You will never appreciate the good, until you have experienced the bad" Lol. Very nicely done! 5/5

Darien this is an amazing poem!!!!! so true and inspiring....

Well said, Darien. Very often, in every kind of relationship it is always the small things that seem to matter than the big ones. If only we can let each pass - there'll be so much more peace around.

thank you for sharing this

peace

Ok, Very well written peice of poetry, however; I didn't feel it flowed that well, for some reason it sounded like a story to me. Other than that, I think it was a great write.

You are the maker of your own life decisions

How is it that a young man like yourself can understand that and most of the world can't? Please tell me how!
This truly was an inspirational piece...helps you accept the negative because we'd never learn from anything if we didn't make mistakes!
Excellent write Darien we Enjoyed!

Hey this was really touching youve expressed urself really good very well written. keep it up =] xx

So true, i loved reading this one... ur very talented keep it up

Whie I ejoyed this poem, I believe your love poems and sad poems are a better quality writing wise yet I really thought well of this idea that you had. Especially you're final couplet, as it is true about finding happiness. Your imagery was nice though, with my avorite being the effect of the rain on the window : )

I liked the last stanza especially.
I enjoyed this, it was very inspiring and a pleasure to read, with great meaning behind it.
