Lessons Learned

I started fresh new kicks and a new dress

I did my makeup and learned to impress

My life from a new view bottled up secrets deeper than the best

I've whipped the tears away and threw away the pill bottles

Grasped what was left of me and reached for doors before each one shuts

While other girls are talking about being better sluts

I'm sitting on my ass and reading my AP History books

I've learned that life has more than a past

The story's only just begun and the future is meant to last

The greater parts of me wonder what is left

When girls now days tryna fuck the guy on their left

I've woken up to more than my own faults

The worlds on my shoulder and secrets in the vaults

There is no longer a demon screaming at me

No little voice tryna kill me just the same

This world is a picture painted by brilliance

Yet we're still not making a difference

Unlike the rest finally the weights off my chest

No more pain no more mistakes nothing is left

Sometimes its harder to make note of these things

As humans we hesitate to make the list

Knowing our flaws are what captivates us

But that's a part of life that carries on with us
