The Key
March 23, 2016
What hurts the most,
Is never seen;
Only felt;
Always demanded.
Is it that tragedies come wrapped in gold,
At first;
Only to die;
To disappoint.
Life can’t be experienced while you’re,
Severely blind;
Misunderstood completely;
Totally unaware.
Living is silently forgiving.
Loving is frightfully accepting.
Happiness is fully committing.
You are completely unique.
Your own.
Self complete.
Not meant to understand.
Only known of experience.
One day is all that’s given.
Fight is the only thing that’s guarded.
Will is the only thing ignited.
A risk is all that’s needed.
