#36 I Learn To Be Strong

This poem is about someone who I deeply cared about. The feelings were never returned, but I learned that with or without his love, I could make it and always remain strong and happy

I Learn To Be Strong

by Felicia

Words of wisdom
come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.

With the truth finally said
and out in the open for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply
but never had that love returned back to me.

I confessed the feelings
that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.

With tears that want to flow
from my eyes,
I feel that my heart,
along with my composure, slowly dies.

While this dramatic side is showing through
with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found
something in me that I can believe in.

Love hurts . . .
That's what they all say,
But I will love again
when all this pain and sorrow goes away.

So I sit and think of all the things
this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing
very important has been lost.

Instead, a learning experience
has come from all this.
I've learned that hardly anything
is more important than my happiness.

This poem is true life. We know that we can't just ignore our feelings. and we know that our love and emotions do not fade so easily. but always one thing happen. we move on. and no matter how or where from we get that strenght, but we move on. just. I don't feel like moving on right now. :(

I voted for this poem because it really touch me. cause i was in a relationship also and it seem like i loved him but he didn't love me back. and when we broke up i was still in love and he just move on. and that was a hurting feeling i guess cause i'm still in love this very moment.
