T.B.L (Truth Behind Life)


 

Ride or die is hard to find,   

  

Real love is not easy,   

  

Trust and loyalty is a key but there is more,  

  

If you what something or someone true,   

  

Happiness can be just like lust,   

  

Of course, you'll feel pain throughout life,   

  

Anger is something we all will feel,   

  

Hope is faith and faith is what keeps you believing,   

  

Depression is a scare it never goes away but you want to cover it up,   

  

Cutting and slitting for the pain to stop takes a lot of negative feelings to build up,   

  

Wishing at times either time to go faster or it to go slower,   

  

I am human just like you are but sometimes I wish I wasn't,    

  

You get close to fast, you'll get hurt just as fast. If you take the time to see who they are 

 

it helps you know if you should become close to them or not,   

  

Family isn't always blood and blood doesn't feel like family depending on who cares

and who's just there,   

  

Be there for others but be prepared for them to not do the same back,   

  

It's not just a gender it's just who the soul is,   

  

It is you and only you,   

  

That is why you have to love you first.
