Lost Ones

Tears are tested through tried waters, holding them back only makes the tide stronger.

Laughter is loved as an anecdote, but sadness is used as a scape goat.

We hide from our pain,

We have little to gain from it, we believe.

I struggle to receive this because in pain I was born.

Pain tore me from my joy, but brought me closer to you.

Deception removes the greatest from their lofty positions

But opens the door for a better condition.

Lost loved ones lurk in our memories.

But those thoughts cause us to pursue the reason WE are still here.

In pain we grow,

Because in knowledge we sow.

My hope is that forever

you should know that

that hardships produce growth.

And experience is the product of both.
