Because I've Grown

I have learned

that gasps and tears

don't always mean you're sad

I have learned

that poisoning your blood

doesn't always make you bad

I have learned 

that struggling

doesn't mean that you need help

I have learned

that my best friend

will always be myself

I have learned

that the sun

can still shine while it rains

I have learned

that I should trust

not my heart, but my brain

I have learned

10,000 things

when I thought I was alone

but these things - I was not taught -

I learned because I've grown

-l.r.
