Faith often fades away

Hope somehow gets lost

Hurt always finds a way in

Pain often reoccurs

Lies often circulate

Truth nowhere in sight

Thorns always blocking a path

Fear instilled in our minds

 

Love eventually dies

Hearts break over time

Perfection will never exist

Being optimistic is really all we have in life

 

-By Racheal Balkissoon

Remember those butterflies

They’re not there anymore

Remember those promises

Hopeless and empty after all

 

Remember those I love yous

When that was all I was hoping for

Remember the anger

Remember when you stormed out the door

 

Remember when all we had was nothing

But it didn’t matter anyway

Remember when we were together

But now drifted miles away

 

Remember the lies told

With no regards for feelings

Remember all the tears shed

And all the wounds that were opened
