and you learn your true WORTH

After a while you learn the subtle difference



between holding a hand and chaining a soul...


And you learn that love doesnt mean leaning


and company doesnt mean security,


And you begin to learn that kisses arent contracts

and presents arent promises...


And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up

and your eyes open,



with the grace of an adult,


not the grief of a child.


And you learn to build all your roads on today


because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans.



After a while you learn that even


sunshine burns if you get too much.


So plant your garden


and decorate your own soul,


instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really are strong..

and you really do have worth.
