The curves of learning

The curves of learning

Formal education was never my thing
My mind was far too free
To sit in a classroom, hours on end
Trying to make sense of geometry
I spent my 20s searching 
For love, in its purest form
Reading Plath and Shakespeare, alone, at night
I was the freak show of my dorm
My 30s were spent fighting my mind
Just trying to keep from falling
Nervous breakdown number two came
With it, a diagnosis, and my calling
So now, in my 40s, I gave up on school
Helping others the way I know how
By using my voice, no matter the pain
It may cause in the here and now
Because life is just a learning curve
We all have to find our way
And if I can make one person feel less alone
I have done something good with my day. ~kjl

i can relate totally to this poem of yours i echos in my ears i too have not too much

education but that doesnt stop me from learning and your right about each one finding his or her own path i have a picture in my apartment with a saying i took the road less traveled but each must find his own

i can truly say your poem has made a difference linda

Linda, thank you for saying such kind things about this poem. I love that saying you speak of too. The best education, I think, is from other people, by listening and learning. Thanks again. You're very sweet ?
