The Lesson
Try not to make such a fool of yourself in the presence of so many,
You'll get through this crazy life we live with few regrets if any.
To say your sorry and you apologize and it will never happen again,
Will only be a waste of your time with your family and friends.
Have no compassion and do not worry because nobody really cares,
Your feelings inside and what makes you cry you can not share.
It's all wrong but it's alright will drive you out of your mind,
Don't let them confuse you if they misunderstand you at any time.
Keep to yourself these emotions that are bottled up deep inside you,
If you dont and you let it slip there's no telling what they will do.
Never do you lead but never do you follow just go your own way,
Do these things I tell you because you'll thank me someday.
There is one last thing I must tell you before I head down the road,
Love , caring and understanding does'nt matter anymore now you know .
This lesson I got one day when I cared and thought I should be concerned,
How wrong I was to have feelings like that and what I have learned.
