A Lesson Learned
To truely understand whats inside,
You'd have to walk a mile in my shoes.
You'd have to know my memories
With the belief that you deserved it.
The tears i've cried in joy and pain,
Happiness and sorrow,
Can never be taken back,
Replaced or forgotten.
A life i've lived with many scenes.
Regrets and a fondness of only half,
To teach me of the truth so clear.
You helped me in that at least.
Some learn the hard way
What some already know.
Except for the kucky ones
That never have to learn.
So thank you for what you taught me.
Thank you for what you didn't.
Thank you for a broken heart,
And a love to always remember.
