I don't have to pretend anymore

This poem is cliche but very true, definitely gets the message across.


life is like a rollercoaster.
there are times when you
feel really excited going
to the top and there
are also times when
you want to scream
real loud just as you
sliding down.

there will be laughter there
will be love there
will be
hatred and there will
also be tears.

there are times when
you feel alone
and lost.
but there are also times
where you feel thankful
and blessed because you’re
surrounded with so
many good friends,
family, and wonderful
people.

as the day goes by you
finally realized that
so many things have
happened. some
are good while others
maybe bad.

when you remember all the joy
and all the laughter,
you want to treasure
that warm feeling inside
forever and for always.
but when you remember all
the sadness and all
the tears, you want to forget
it all and act as if it
never happened.

you regret why it has to
happen. why it has
to be you and not
someone else.

to forgive an accept
your dark past is as important as
to treasure the beautiful
memories you’ve collected.
regret won’t take you
back there and hate
won’t fix that.

let go.

and then whenever you
remember all the things
you’ve been through
you’ll be smiling.

because you’ve
let your balloon
fly high into
the
sky.
