I Learn To Be Strong

This poem is about someone whom I deeply cared about. The feelings were never returned, but I learned that with or without his love, I could make it and always remain strong and happy.

Words of wisdom come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.

With the truth finally said and out in the open
for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply
but never had that love returned back to me.

I confessed the feelings that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.

With tears that want to flow from my eyes,
I feel that my heart,
along with my composure, slowly dies.

While this dramatic side is showing through
with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found something in me
that I can believe in.

Love hurts . . .
That's what they all say,
But I will love again
when all this pain and sorrow goes away.

So I sit and think of all the things this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing very important has been lost.



Instead, a learning experience has come from all this.
I've learned that hardly anything is more important
than my happiness.
