My lesson


 My lesson

 

Oh my soul

Oh my conscious

Heavy hearted I am

 

I learned a lesson

I leaned to to move on

I learned to let go

 

Oh my life

My pride

Oh my body

My dignity

 

I threw blame in my actions

All was all my doings

I paid the prices

Prices of other ladys

Prices of people’s angers

 

 

 

 

 

 

My soul died

My belief drowned

My sorrows wouldn’t stop flowing

My nose couldn’t stop running

My heart couldn’t stop hurting

My love for everyone couldn’t stop breaking

 

I became friends with sadness

I felt helpless

All my confidence crushed into pieces

Angry was my name

Long face was my second name

Crying was my surname

 

Denial was my friend

Accepting was my ex friend

I learned a lesson

A lesson not to depend on someone

A lesson not to rely on someone

A lesson not to trust someone

A lesson to take mistakes as my challenges

 

Life happened

Lesson learned

A peaceful life

A decent life

A gift from God

I learned a lesson

 

I found myself again

I am me and forever me

I am a woman
