To Really Hurt

Seems like life just doesn't quit!
Here's one, within my hearts tick.

Where do I begin?
Where it rips up underneath my skin?

Just when I thought I was so aware,
another obstacle that doesn't care.

Being strong was last on my mind.
Only angriness, why? for being kind?

Lingering, I was in my sorrow, 
blinded to what holds tomorrow.

Revenge sounded at it's sweetest--
but I was just being tested.

Now, I found my greatest weapon,
my reward, just doing nothing.

I gained more strength from it all,
by walking away and standing tall!
