I'M Cool With That

Protect your heart,
 Surround it with patience.
   Allow your light,
 To be luminescent.
 
   Try not to get your
 Hopes up too fast.
   Do not dwell,
 Too much in the past.

   Never give doubt
 Too much time.
   We all have are
 Mountains to climb.

   Some folks are not cut out,
 For the rough spots.
   You don't always get to,
 Call your shots.

   Find solitude when certain
 People go away.
   Most things look different,
 In the light of day.

   Not everyone gets the concept
 Of, "I'm here for you".
   Some folks have no,
 Follow through.

   People make promises when
 The sun shines.
   Remember to read
 Between the lines.

   They are long gone when,
 The storm comes.
   You face defeat,
 You will succumb.

   The storm washes away
 The muck and debris.
   No more barking up 
 The wrong tree.

   Reality is people
 Are not real anymore.
   They treat love like
 A candy store.

   A righteous person,
 It is more than rare.
   It's a wild and crazy,
 World out there.

   I admire the people,
 Who avoid me?
   I'm better off,
 It's hassle-free.

   It's messed up when you find out,
 She wasn't where it was at.
   My love is not for all;
 Today, I'm cool with that.
