Almost all the men in my life
Have hurt me, one way or another
Or, in some cases, I have hurt them.
Pain makes a person cautious
It puts them on guard
Never let’s them trust
And in the end,
Pain causes pain.
To be able to move on
To know that it will be okay
That one day you might get hurt
And everything will still be alright
To find strength in yourself
To never lose hope
To find joy in the memories
Learn to believe the good and not the bad
To be something more than yourself
To rise above your peers and stand
Even if it means standing alone
I am not brave
I am not courageous
I am by no means a great person
I have never done extraordinary things
And I might never will
But I have fallen and I rose
I have stood alone and overcame
The pain in my life to once again
Be made into someone new
I have defeated my worse enemy
Myself.
