What Have I Learned
That nothing in life comes
without a cost
not a price tag
but, something more at depth
To truly live
u must have been close to death
at a time in your life
because in a blink of an eye
everything u know
u could forget
That money and possessions
don't mean anything
for if u do not have a
soul
A life of emptiness
and regret is not a
life at all
in order to have loved
you have had to lost
to know the pain of
living without someone
that u must still live on
To love yourself
can be one of the
greatest conquests
to see what others see
when they look at you
is something the complete
opposite of what your
reflection is when u look at yourself
To love someone else
to be completely valuable
undressed and completely nude
to unbear your heart, body and soul
to let someone let u be
unbroken, unsold
The answers are simple
life is a puzzle you never
get all the pieces or clues
every day is a challenge
every day is a blessing
some people stay
some people go
broken hearts come and go
love will always stay
true with the people we know
Forgiveness is a part of life
the old saying " if you can't forget you can't forgive"
the hatred, anger
inability to grow
is this really not worth letting go
You don't have to forget
but, u have to forgive
one day at a time
one moment
one minute
for if u don't u stop the
ability to grow
Second chances
are seldom and free
I've had a couple
if you never change your past
your future is doomed
Break the chains and be free
If u forget everything in life
listen to me
I have been a tortured soul
I have been down and out
been ripped a part
beaten and bruised
almost gave up
God only knows
If people didn't fight for me
I would have no survived
So I have learned
the good, the bad and even the ugly
define who u are
what u will be
rise above
and be set free
