The Way It Is... Poem by Faduma Fiasco

Dont Say You Love Me
Cause I Might Do Something Stupid Like
Believe It
Cause I Know If we Be Patient We'll Achieve It
But No, You Wanna Say The Word Like Its Any Other
&& That Its No Big Deal That Were Moving Kinda
Fast For Eachother
Cause Personally
Love Is Something To be Cherished
Not Say It To Someone Who Doesn't Deserve It
& Later Be Embarrassed
Cause When Its Your Heart VS Mind
You Will Soon Come To Find
That When You Follow Your Heart
Its The Trail To Its Demise
& You'll Soon Find Out That Your Mind
Wasn't The One Telling A Lie
Its The Truth That We All Must Face
That Love Isn't A Game, Show Or A Race
Just Something That Will Find Its Place
In You Life Somehow, Someday

Never To Listen to My Heart Again
Unless Its For Certain That It Will Never
Hurt Again
