Its my birthday today

YES, YES, YES, YET ANOTHER YEAR
FROM THE LAST TIME I YELLED
"CANT BELIEVE I'M THIS GROWN"
TILL THIS VERY MOMENT HERE
I HAVE SEEN, HEARD, FELT ENOUGH
TO KNOW THE ACTUAL DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN BEING 23
AND NOW

I AM 24 YEARS OLD
1 AM 24 YEARS YOUNG
AND ALL THAT IS IN-BETWEEN


what is life without lessons
for it is whitin those lessons
that we discover the true meaning
of this circle we call ..
"life"
I have learnt
to be passive
as it isnt a weakness
but a talent that only a few possess

I have learnt
to be strong
now strenght isnt my goal
it is the very drive that wakes me every morn'

I have learnt
to forgive
for nothing else can free u
from the boundages of animosities

I have learnt
to save
for if u do not live to enjoy it
u have families that will

I have learnt
to love
my self first,but others as much
for how can u love another, otherwise?

I have learnt
to move on
because life waits for no other
but no other- no one

I have learnt
to make friends
although friends arent always meant to last forever
they still are gifts from God

I have learnt
to follow my instincts
and if ever it was wrong,
i'd know to know better next time

I have learnt
to dance
for nothing else gives me more joy
than moving rythmically, to the beats in my ears

I have learnt
to laugh hard
because its the easiest way
to give my abs some exercise

I have learnt
to cry
because it purifies me
without all the physical fights

I have learnt
to write
for it is my therapy
tracks my memories, yet cleanses my thoughts
