it is hard for many people
lost to know who they are
when they are sold a false bill
materialistic unrealistic dreams;
joy contentment are often found
in small things in work well done
thinking choice wearing your heart
on your sleeve means facing loss;
mistakes disappointment
heartbreak unresolved issues;
it should motivate desire
to resolve past issues
move on and love life;
first we have to make
a form of peace with ourselves
before we can heal effectively
have healthy peaceful relationships,
with family friends
strangers, because all strangers
are potential friends
the reality is life contains
measures of opportunities joys
difficulties problems
and conflict life is hard
or can be hard good friends
help us carry the load
