It took me 18 years to learn a thing or two
About life and all the utter crap it tends to put you through.

I learnt not to pine for love and wealth.
I learnt never to trust anyone but myself.
I learnt never to cling on to what you may think is yours.
I learnt never to let your feelings show beyond your room walls.
I learnt never to hurt another at the expense of my own,
because that would only leave me a *****,
and all alone.
I learnt that at the end of the day, even if i have nothing to call my own,
as long as i have heart,
ill always have a home.

But one thing 18 years
could never have taught me to see,
is that the greatest flaw in my life
was trusting the feelings
of ME.
Life will defy all i think ive learnt and know,
and the biggest thing thats so ******* hard to learn,
is to just
let
go.
