(no subject)
After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesnt mean leaning
and company doesnt mean security
and you begin to learn that kisses arent contracts
and presents arent promises
& you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of
falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to give you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure..
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth..and you learn and learn
with every goodbye
you learn..
