It gave me thorns
Before I knew what roses felt like.
It gave me loss
Before I gained something.
It gave me betrayals,
Before I learnt what loyalty is.
It gave me blues & blacks,
When I had never seen reds & whites before.
It gave me tears,
Before I learnt the curve to smile.
It gave me a fall,
Before I learnt how to stand.
This is what life gave me,
Mistakes before experiences,
Lies before truth,
Hatred before love.
But I thrive,
I live,
I endure,
And about it all,
I write.
