I'VE LEARNED

i've learned,
that our background may have influenced who we are
but we bear the responsibility of becoming who
we want to be.

i've learned,
that when im mad,i have the right
to be angry but that does not give me the right
to be cruel.

i've learned,
that when we aim high and work hard,
we may achieve what we want but if we fail,
we bounce back.

i've learned,
that it is hard to draw a line between being
nice and not hurting others;
standing up for what you believe in.

move on,
the world doesn't stop
for your grief.
