You have to get hurt

That hurt,
It will throb for weeks.
But it will mend.
And you will be stronger next time.

You will learn,
To be wearier of the nightmare called love.
You look up to those,
Who smile.

They smile, 
And they laugh the hardest.
That's because of their wounds,
They have callused over. 

They have learned their lesson, 
They have felt the pain.
And the hardship.
These battles,

They have won. 
Because they decided,
The world won't hold them down.
Instead,

They'll be the Boss.
