Shoelaces
SweetPain

My shoes were so pretty.
 1
They were: white and pink runners,
 2
with bright white laces.
 3
I was running, to my mommy
 4
(she had candy)
 5
when I tripped, fell and scraped my baren knee .
 6
The tear, they streamed from my round and once cheery face.
 7
My mommy picked me up and mended and kissed my wound.
 8
Then she taught me a lesson
 9
that has stuck to me like super sticky super glue.
 10
That we all have to hurt sometimes, to learn the most important lessons, and the lesson I learned today is worth all the pain.
 11
From that day on, I tied all my shoelaces.

should be changed to.
When i tripped and scraped my baren knees.

You need a stronger ending.

no, i like the first line how it is worded, but i would insert a comma (ar a hyphen, even) after the word "shoes".

 — Kauf

i dont agree with you loserxcore, with the tripping part. taking out fell makes no sense, i tripped yah but you can trip and not hurt yourself. do you have any suggestions for the ending, because i can't think of any that tie well with the rest of the poem like that one. thanks for the help LoserXcore and Lia. And thanks for commenting beautynbeast, larrylark and Kauf :D

It's funny how people put line breaks into prose and call it poetry. This is shit.
