Sometimes it seems
Hard to understand
Why things are
The way they are.
But even if
We don't understand
All we can do
Is move forward.
Life has its challenges
Some harder than others
But that's okay.
Challenges shape us.
They make us
Who we are.
It is not the challenges
We are given
But the way
We choose to deal with them
That defines us.
They were so awful to me,
And yet
They seemed to care.
They manipulated,
Twisted,
Hurt,
And destroyed me.
And yet I can't
Seem to let them go.
Even knowing
How badly they could
I'm scared.
I can't believe we're here
Again.
I can't believe this is reality
Again.
Four years
They say.
It's only four years.
But it's four years
Of a living hell for me.
They laugh
The sorrow I know
Is like no other.
It is too deep
Too raw
Too real.
And as I stand here
Within its everlasting clutches
I find little bursts of hope.
And these little burst of light

You have such a healthy attitude when it comes to the strife of life! We could all use a dose of your positivity. And you're right: It's what we make with the lemons that defines us.
Thanks so much!
