Most people
They don’t know who I am
Never saw the tears
The pain.
They don’t hear the yelling.
Oh, we walk with smiles
Tell everyone we are fine
No one looks deep in our eyes
To no its all lies
I once went into school crying
Home with my gram that morning
The words
I couldn’t make them go away
I never want to see your face again!
She would say
I don’t know what I did
But it must have been enough
For her to have so much hatred
My friends
They calmed me
Made me laugh again
Made me smile
School was my new home
My new family
My sister was sick
Cancer was taking her away
She listened to the yelling
Only meant for me
But it hurt her too
We cried together
Holding each other in our arms
As she came back to apologize
I just listened
I knew now that nothing was true
Because tomorrow
She would apologize again
Tell us not to tell
The reason I speak of past
Past made me what I am today
A strong girl
A person who went through so many things
But smiled anyways
Now I turn to God
He’s changed my family
It’s all well now
For only few problems
Now everything seems small
Although it could be big for others
God made me happy
Made the smiles real
Told me everything would be all right
Now I know
Everything happened for a reason
So as you say I’m so sorry
I say, I’m not
Because everything happens for a reason
And if this doesn’t say it well enough
Just know
That anything that happens now
Will change your life forever
You have to take the steps
To make the change good
So now as my life gets better
Take the step forward
Don’t go around saying,
I hate my life
Say, that you can’t wait
To see what happens next.
Life can be random
But it always has a reason.
