The Lessons I Have Learned

Throughout my life many mistakes have been made
There many things that I have learned 
The lessons that were learned are the things that I regret
One thing that I did learn
Is that life is just to short, I realize that now

I have learned to walk through hell and come back
I have learned that working hard is the way to success
I have learned to deal with pain
I have learned to give myself to help others in pain
I have learned that it can happen more than once
I have learned that love is to important to let go
I have learned from friends betrayal
I have tasted betrayal from those I gave it for
I have learned to  defend myself mentally
I have learned to live alone and share life with no one
The biggest lesson that I have learned is
Life goes on
and I will make it some how
