I Learn To Be Strong
by Felicia
Words of wisdom
come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.

With the truth finally said
and out in the open for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply
but never had that love returned back to me.

I confessed the feelings
that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.

With tears that want to flow
from my eyes,
I feel that my heart,
along with my composure, slowly dies.

While this dramatic side is showing through
with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found
something in me that I can believe in.

Love hurts . . .
That's what they all say,
But I will love again
when all this pain and sorrow goes away.

So I sit and think of all the things
this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing
very important has been lost.

Instead, a learning experience
has come from all this.
I've learned that hardly anything
is more important than my happiness.

I have recently found out that my boyfriend of twelve months has been cheating on me with his ex for the entire time that we've been together. I have just written a long letter to help clear my thoughts and feelings and wanted a poem that really expressed how I am feeling. I couldn't believe how perfectly you have encapsulated everything that I wanted to say. Thank you and I hope that you have found true happiness. Best wishes.
