Pain
has much to teach us
Failure
has more to teach us
I have graduated from the school of my own thoughts.
I am not going to hurt the people who have hurt me.
Any action, causes a reaction
My strategy
is to succeed.
Revenge
is a poison
that makes my heart bleed
until it pops.
We are often in Purgatory
for a purpose
so that we can sift through the sand of our soul
and take-out the bad stones.
My desire
is to lead—
not to be in charge
but to be an example
for others to follow.
I have spent much time
thinking of myself
and now,
I want community.
I still think building walls is healthy
getting away from humanity
is smart
but there is something in me
that wants to build-up
others.
I know the risks.
Being used
is a probability
but I’m done with bitterness.
The roots of my tree
are planted with kindness.
I think we can become
what we want to be
despite conditions, and
Obstacles
create the miracles
for a heart that can love
when it should hate.
Heart-felt piece! 😊
