Careless warrior, Jealous warrior

March 30, 2016

Careless warrior, jealous warrior.

 

The enemy is cruel,
Yet the careless warrior knew.
Disruption would commence;
The start of the end.

 

The jealous warrior from afar,
Not knowing it at all.
The enemy was danger,
barely known; a stranger.

 

As time flew by,
The enemy was sly.
Careless warrior held
The hurt up ahead.

 

The jealous warrior caught,
the Careless warrior in a not.
The enemy was content,
that the jealous warrior was dent.

 

Carless has he was named,
never took the blame.
Jealous as she was placed,
died in pain.

The author's comments:

This poem is inspired by the action of cheating. As we all get older and interested in falling in love, some of us get hurt. The three characters are basically, the boyfriend/husband, the girlfriend/wife, and the person that wedged the couple apart. 

 

Some of it is also based on divorce. Readers who have divorced parents, specifically, if one parent cheated on the other; this poem truly explains how it feels and how careless, and cruel some people in this world can be. 

 

But I don't want people to think it's okay to cheat, I want people to look at this poem, let it sink into you and prevent you from cheating, or help you understand the situation.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
