Exactly

Just saying. 
Maybe praying. 
I don't know. 
I hope my feelings never show.
Do I care.
Again I say, should I dare.
Pain.
Stain.
What do I have left to gain.
I lift my head.
Don't bow instead.
Think a good thought
Lessons taught.
Step above the strife.
Live my life.
My best is all I can do.
So true.
To lift myself above.
Fill my heart with love.
Dry the tears. 
Embrace my fears.
I stand thankful for my years.
Life has been rough.
Tough.
Made me who I became.
Life is to blame.
Just the same. 
Life has gave me 
From what I see.
Exactly what I have put in. 
An adventure it has been.
All the memories in my mind.
Time has left behind.
Life's little gift.
Will give my heart a lift.
Times to come .
Separate myself from.
Anything that brings forth my sad. 
I follow the glad.
Not the bad. 
Peace of mind.
I find.
That's where joys found. 
 Where I'm bound.
See you there. 
All you have to do is care. 
That's fair.
