What They Forgot To Mention
they said alot of things
such as the older you get the wiser you become
that true friendship is rare and difficult to find
and that loss is only natural
they said to remember that family is the most important thing
and that your parents know what is best for you
that love will come in its own time
and when it does it will be as if you got the air knocked out of your lungs and it will leave you breathless and starstricken
they told me about dreams coming true and that happiness is wherever you choose to find it
they said to never forget your own self worth, and then you will be okay
as long as you stay true to yourself and your values, everything will be fine
But No one ever bothered telling me
that wisdom comes at a heavy price
and experience isn't at all what is rcacked up to be
what we learn is often from what has already damaged us
no one ever mentioned that your parents are vulnerable too
and you will see them cry, probably more then once
and some nights you will hear them through the walls, crying about the pain you weren't aware exsisted
they make mistakes too, we're all broken in some way
i guess they failed to mention
that growing up is one of the most uncomfotable, heartbreaking experiences of your life
or that love will hurt you just as much as it will heal you
and that despite what they say, when it comes around knocking at your door, you will have no choice but to let it in
it will consume you
and when it ends, oh trust me baby girl, it will end at some point or another, it will empty out the contents of your heart onto the cool bathroom floor that you are lying on
cuz when people leave they take part of you with them
and loss is no stranger to the 3am emptiness you will soon grow accustomed to
no one bothered to share the part where naseua overtakes you
about swallowing the bile in your throat to keep your insides down
why didn't they forwarn me of the soul crushing pain that lives in your stomach
or the demons that will torture you, memories
and on the days when your simply to worn down to cry, or perhaps the tears just wont come, you'll lie still for hours, as the time passing becomes irrelevant, wondering when the pain will pass, I know it seems like an enernity
I suppose they forgot to mention that part
