Tired

Wow this has been one hell of a weak
 I've felt so many emotions 
 that I almost can't focus 
    on being just me
    So many tears had to fall
      So that I could get back to 
      what I call normal
       my heart stops
       every time I think 
        I might lose someone close
        My heart hurts every time
          that somebody close
                 hurts me
                It's ironic in a way
               I can't stay happy always
                 I'm never afraid 
                 to face the flames
                  there has to be 
                 a beginning middle and end
                     you can't skim through life
                      It won't get better until 
                        you live through the strife
                        each day gets a little better
                          and eventually wounds heal
                         I'm becoming an adult now
                            and it's becoming more real 
                            I have choices to make
                            that will most de finitely affect my faith 
                              this part of growing up scares me
                              I can longer blame it on childish things
                                 If I  f.u.c.k  up I have to take full responsibility 
                                         I'm tired but it's been worth the experience
                                                 worth the growth
                                                If I always ran away 
                                                    I'd still be the same old me
                                                     and I'd still be unhappy

Great write on growing up. Sometimes it's hard lessons to learn... but worth it. Love, Glenna
