Life Poem by Malcolm Hetherington

life can be rough
i know what its like
for i've been there too
its not fair i know
but the only way to survive
is to be strong
not just for yourself
but for everybody around you
your friends need you
your family needs you
when the going gets rough
just think of what you'll learn
you'll become wise
and learn from peoples mistakes
you'll lead a better life if you keep your eyes open
don't let the past hold you back
