"Lessons Left Behind"

Breathe...

Exhale...

Let it go...

Don't ruin a good day, by thinking about a bad yesterday

Never allow yourself to be dragged back to a place where you had to pray yourself out of

As hard as it may be, loyalty can keep us in some situations where common sense should have gotten us out of

The sad part of reality is that there will always be deception and lies

And those deceitful words spoken may not be entirely meant to hide the truth

But to deceive you into making choices that won't serve their interests

Words spin sentences together forming a story

Turning you into the monster they wished to make you

All the while never mentioning the chapter in which they made you into this horrible beast

We are only human...

It can take us a long time to realize and understand...

That not everything in life is a beautiful story

Sometimes, somethings come into our lives to simply teach us a lesson, then leave...

It is the knowledge gained that will always remain

Even if it's the bitter hard truth

Because life is reflective...

The mirror of reality stares back at us

Filled to the brim with moments of existence within life

The years have added themselves together, forging our path forward

Heartaches, goals obtained, and dreams made...

Like everything in life we are more than what appears on the surface

Each step defines us along this journey

And sometimes, healing hurts more than the wound ever did

Because we now understand what it's like to live, after people have left...

We are the difference in the definition made

Regardless of any faults or blame...

Please, keep a light on for yourself...

So you may always find your way through the dark.
