Trials

when I was young
I walked home from school in pain
my neck nearly broke from a gang of bullies
once home my parents told me
not to hold grudges, I must learn forgiveness

that night I looked into the mirror
with tears rolling down my face
told myself this

"I never want to be so passive
If I’m going to make it in this life
I need to learn to fight back"


when I was a teenager
I fell for an older woman
she cheated on her husband with me
they had a child together

foolishly I thought we would run away
when she broke things off
and went back to her unsuspecting husband

I looked into the mirror
with tears rolling down my face
told myself this

"I don’t ever want to be so cold
I never want to feel so alone
when I get older
I will cherish my loved ones"


once I became a young adult
I found the girl of my dreams
thought she was the one
the one that would give me a family
but god said no

that day I looked into the mirror
cursed everyone and everything

took sometime
but I needed to accept
the gifts life did give me
and let go of what I can’t have
my trials helped me stand
when all I wanted to do was crumble
