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
