Taking A Loss


Taking A Loss

By: Eric Turner

To know how it feels to lose someone that was never really there, yet you wanted them very badly to be...

It hurts, honestly, and you feel as if you were never good enough for that person. You had nothing to offer them...

But that isn't the case here. I will succeed without you , what I couldn't offer you I will to the world, although a loss is a loss...

 

But you must lose everything to appreciate a small something , I always say.
