_ I cried all day because I felt sad
Sad because felt pain.
A pain that hurt me so bad, it even felt like a needle piercing through my heart
I cried all day because I had dreams;
dreams that you came and shattered into little pieces like a glass falling of a table.
I cried all day because I thought you hated me
Hated me for all the wrong reasons,
reasons that were not even there but seemed like excuses for you to dislike me.
I sit here right now and wonder to myself, why me, what have I ever done to you
But I also sit here and think to myself that you won’t make me feel sad anymore
You won’t make me feel pain again, you won’t break my heart;
I will put the pieces back together and live my dreams
I won’t worry about what you think about me, because what you think doesn’t matter,
It’s what I think of myself.
I cried all day, but now I have a smile on my face,
Not because of you, but because I felt a comforting hug that made me feel better.
I felt a comforting hug from GOD ALMIGHTY that lasts forever!
