What I'Ve Learned

I've learned a lot these past few years Through my fake smiles and unseen tears That friends sometimes aren't forever that true love doesn't always last And happy memories stay with you but those happy moments go by fast Words can cut deeper than any sword Leaving you with something That no man could replace or ever afford Sometimes things happen, Sometimes your heart will break Though to feel real happiness this is what's at stake In order to have the comfort of death and your story to live to tell You must also experience the hate-filled life of hell Remember . . . There will always be someone there Someone that honestly does care A person can leave your life Leave you alone with your worries and strife But like pain, the love you once felt cannot from your body depart but only may enter your heart Don't worry someday it will all get better Your mornings will grow joyful with someone to love And you'll have the kind of life you thought you could only dream of I've been there before with my head in my hands Believing there's no way anyone could ever understand But they do . . . trying everything they can to help you Still you sit there unknowing and blind To what soon you'll be glad to find.
