Poem
I’ve learned that no matter how hard life seems there’s always something to be learned from the negative experiences in the end. I’ve learned that you never really know someone until you’ve lived with them. I’ve learned that just because someone says they care for you doesn’t necessarily make them your friend. I’ve learned that you can’t make someone love you no matter how much you care for them. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be alone just as long as you’re not lonely to the point of having suicidal tendencies. I’ve learned that you alone can define your destiny. I’m learning to accept others as they are and to live my life in deep humility. I’m learning to forgive others who have offended me no matter how much the situation infuriates me. And of course I’ll never forget what they did to me, But at least we can be civil to each other and exist harmoniously. I’m learning that procrastination is unacceptable and that with my life I need to be more responsible. I’ve learned that common sense is not something that everyone has. And I’m learning to stop behaving as if my patience and nerves are made of thinly paned glass. I’ve learned to take everything to God in prayer. And I’ve learned to be patient and wait for His answers because I know for me He cares. I’m trying to forgive my father for the times he should have been there. He’ll never know how his negligence showed me how much he really cared. I’m learning how to write my expressive thoughts down. Now my frustrations don’t build up so much and they’re no longer weighing on my heart now. I’ve learned that life can sometimes be as hard as we make it. And I’m learning that people can really get under my skin and sometimes I just have to swallow my pride and take it. And that doesn’t make me a punk at all. It just reinforces my faith in God cause I know He’ll be there for me when I stumble or fall. I’m learning how to be a better daughter and sister. Even though my mom and Courtney don’t know, there are times when I really do miss them. I’m learning to accept that my family has issues and that they are not perfect. And when they do and say hateful things to each other to not even indulge it. Life’s short but the journey is long. God still has plenty more lessons for me to learn.
