Careful (10-23-08) Poem by Shilesha Johnson

People come into our lives
Only to leave
So when people go it’s sad
But not hard to believe
Life made me see
Things so much better
Nothings promised forever
And it’s once in a life time
That people stay together
So I’ve learned not to get my hopes high
Only for them to be let down
Because when you hit that ground
It’s hard to get back up
And the only one there to help you
Is really ya self
That’s the one thing I learned the hard way
That’s why I’m careful about who I let in
Who I get close to
And who I let stay
