Life's Lessons

Life's lessons has taught me when and when not to speak, It has also taught me that being silent doesn't make you weak. Some things are better left unsaid, Because at times it drags you behind instead of moving you ahead. Just when you think things are at their best, Life throws you a curve ball and yet here we go with another test. Climbing a mountain trying to get to the top, You realize you've hit a road block wondering if it's time to give up and stop. You give it all you have by pushing forward with all your might, Being the best person you can by doing what you think is right. It's frustrating that life can be so cruel, When all along you've played by the rules. Treating others as you'd like to be treated, But realizing that life's unfair so you take another beating. Life's lessons are what make us the way we are, But at times we are left with some pretty big scars. That's what makes us stronger still looking for ways to be happy, Even tho at times people can't seem to agree. Doesn't mean that how you feel is wrong, Just means that what you think and what you believe is very strong. Life's lessons are there to guide us along our way leaving room for mistakes, Because no one is perfect but we learn from them by separating what is real and what is fake. No one said living was the easiest thing to do, But you have to pull the strength from within to find out what is true. Life's lessons teaches us what we are capable of withstanding, And gives us time to find understanding. There would be no compassion without suffering, There would be no love without caring. It's all about compromise and finding a mutual ground, To make things simpler each time around. Life's lessons has taught me that happiness is letting go of what you can't control, And focusing on more positive things and making them a goal. Listen to what is being said and fix any problems you may have, Life's a lot better when you're not living it sad. Life's lessons has taught me that communication is key, Without it no relationship will ever succeed. Life is what you make it, You can choose to take it for granted or choose to live it. Without life's lessons we wouldn't know what to change, Nor would we realize what we've gained. March 19, 2014 ~ The One and Only~
