things will go wrong
they always do
thats not pecimistic
its just true

cause thats life
ups and downs
times of smiles
and others with frowns

good times leave you happy
bad times leave you scarred
good times are easy
and the bad ones so hard

but i wouldnt cover the scars
or hide them in the past
im keeping mine
and they will always last

theyll never go away
forever here to stay
i need them to remember
and help me live each day

they are a part of me
without them i wouldnt be the same
life might have been easier
but it would have been lame

they make me who i am
so dont bandage me
im showing them off
for everyone to see


i wrote this because everyone goes through hard times and wish so badly to make them stop but once you reach a place where you are happy you realize how much the hard times were worth it and wouldnt change anything

Sherm,
  How true, how true!  You show here the wisdom which only comes from experience-how long have you been enrolled in the school of hard knocks?    Dean

I seek to be me-
and all I can be!
