Experience Life

the world doesn't end just cause you think it will,
& that sometimes growing up means letting go.
You learn what real love is,
& you begin to see that one friend who really cares
is better than a hundred friends who don't.
You learn that you can be strong,
take each day step-by-step,
& survive every sad moment.
So feel the pain & cry the tears,
go out & experience life.
But when you're at the end of your rope,
& you're ready to jump off that ledge,
remember that heartaches fade,
pain subsides,
& though life seems at times too tough to handle,
it's also too precious a gift to waste.
Keep on living, never give up,
& remember ;
As you grow, you learn
