Every lesson learned comes with what I earned
Knowledge builds wisdom but sometimes bridges still get burned
Water under that same bridge wishing you nothing but the best
Time is just a test letting it go laying it all to rest
Choosing my battles includes understanding I may lose
Putting self first walking away without a scar nor bruise
But even if the heart breaks its still beautiful in my eyes
Hurting precedes healing in this drama trauma filled life
Even when the pain runs deep please finish the race
It takes practice to become the person winning first place
Last is not least as long as you leave with a trophy or token
Some of the loudest words are left unwritten and unspoken
Actions speak louder than words so no saying I love u its showing
Each lesson learned brings peace by way of changing and growing
