Lessons Learned
July 20, 2013
Teach me to play, read, walk
Teach me to love, draw, talk
Teach me to be kind, hopeful, brave
Teach me to pretend that everything’s okay
Teach me to cry without making a sound
Teach me to die without losing a pound
Teach me to hide myself from it all
Teach me to stand whenever I fall
Teach me that caring is setup to pain
Teach me that Abel’s no better than Cain
Teach me that trust is for the weak
Teach me to lie whenever I speak
Teach me
death is easy
and
life is
a
curse
