Clarity Part 1
Every painful experience comes with a lesson.
"You'll learn from this and become stronger" or so they say.
Somehow I keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
What have I learned?
I give my whole heart willingly to those who seek to destroy it.
I forgive even though I know I will be hurt again.
If I keep repeating the cycle....
What have I learned?
How am I stronger when it hurts more than it did the last time?
I don't believe in learning lessons from bad experiences.
We're meant to encounter the bad, and face it.
Because in the end..... it makes us who we are.
Doesn't mean I'm stronger
Doesn't mean I'm weaker
I'm who I'm supposed to be right now
I'm still gonna love the way I do
I'm still gonna have hope
No lessons, just growth
