My Relationship with Life


Dear Life,

 

I don't even know where to been...

But I want you.

Even though you've put me through a lot,

I stuck it out until the end.

I am giving you my best,

my all.

Don't I deserve the same from you?

 

I learned some of your lessons the only way I knew how.

Hard.

But they were hard lessons that needed to be taught.

Even though you've knocked me down,

around,

and from side-to-side.

I got back up, for another round,

and I am swinging harder than ever.

 

 I am going to give you all that I have. 

I hope you'll do the same. 

Because I am going to make the most out of myself

And you.

 

We are going to:

Grow

Learned

Love

Travel

And most of all,

Be happy. 

 

 

With Love,

 

Cory
