LIFE LESSONS

sometimes
feel cursed
cost more
than it's worth
why do life's teachings
have to hurt
lessons learned
only after
being burned
sun stops
shining
before we see
silver linings
something has 
to be gone
to know we
should've held on
not til
loved ones die
what they meant
do we realize
hard times
may be few
reveals character
in you
every
difficulty
comes with
possibility
won't put
you through
more than
you can do
just
enough
to toughen
you up
don't have
a sixth sense
can't predict
consequence
if we knew
what was in store
be nothing
to strive for
with each step
we take
another choice
is made
if you knew then
what you know now
wouldn't change things
anyhow
see in the
ironies
exactly where
you're supposed to be
always be
a price
can only do
what you feel is right
life gives you
what you need
plants the
seeds
may not be
how you hoped
say we reap
what we've sown
have to go
with what you know
in the end
it will be shown
