I look towards the future with open, bright eyes. I enjoy the thought of another morning, Another meal, Another smile. I close my eyes on the past for a moment, And wonder how far I've gotten? Have i reached my goals? Is life good? And I remember everything that made me cry, That I don't want to remember, I saw pain that I didn't want ever again, Sorrow that leaves and comes back like a tooth ache. Hardships that were ment for a reason, To make me stronger. Now I can look towards the future, Shut my eyes on the past, Knowing life is better than before, Thru hardships and turmoil, Agony and defeat, I am stronger within, And my future is waiting.
Reason for writing:
This is for everyone who says they can't believe their life is the way it is. For eveytime they question "why", know that for the bad stuff there is good. Without the bad, there is no good.
