Lessons I learnt

Lessons I learnt

A Poem by Funke Kolapo

I have lived...or sort of
I have dined with laughter
I have cared
I have embraced love
I have walked with pain
I have dined with sorrow
I have tasted betrayal
I have drunk the wine of desertion
I have made friends with fear and guilt
I have chewed on suffering
I have inhaled rejection
I have been broken
I have learnt to bend
I have gone to hell and back
I have survived
One lesson I learnt?
Life goes on
Live it

Life is made up of all those things and it is best when life knocks you down to get right back up and keep living.This is very uplifting and inspiring I think :)
