I'M Richard

Strong weak scared terrified 
by the thought of love 
lonely souls like mine 
blessed with a black cloud 
scars left from the emotional war I'm in 
personally Richard holds up in muddy waters
i live life with a negative outlook 
from what life handed me 
builds strength but makes 
me weak to matters of the heart 
scared I might just find true love 
terrified that it will leave

Through mistakes we learn. Through loss we grow. The lesson of appreciation comes with the loss of someone or something we didn't realize the value of until after it was gone. If the lesson is learned it won't be repeated. Huggs friend TLee
