Life

I feel so empty sometimes

I don’t know why I do

Maybe its cause of all I’ve been through

Or because of all the things I missed out on

 

Like meeting my Mother

Or finishing High school

Or going to prom

Or a school dance

 

I missed out on a lot

But I’m farther than most

I live by myself

And had to learn independence alone

 

I experienced heartbreak

And financial discomforts

I experienced homelessness

And I’ve fallen so many times

 

But no matter all this s**t

I’ve learned to get the f**k back up

I’ve learned how to cope with s**t

I’ve learned to be cautious with who to trust

 

Life is a journey

It can be rough

There will be hardships

There will be pain

 “No pain no gain”

And that is true

Because sometimes

You have to fall down to remember how to stand
