hurtful words not only wound
the ones you love
but
also yourself

struggles are temporary;
and so is everything

we tend to think
Life is
what’s out there

you are
the reason why
i know
i can face
any hurdles
Life puts me through

if you can’t be grateful
with what you have now

i know
it is not the life you had hoped for me

i wish
there were
fewer
unspoken words
between us

you
are only
hurting yourself
by seeing all that is
wrong with the world

if you can’t forgive them
at least,
find the strength
to forgive yourself

sometimes
all there is left
to do
is
nothing
