We have all had times when we were let down

Times when we cried and times when we frowned

 

These acts that hurt us sometimes were thought through and planned

While other times they unwittingly happened just like blowing sand

 

Sometimes these hurts are done by someone we love

And other times hurt comes from a person we hardly knew of

 

The hurt that’s the worst doesn’t come from a gun or a fist

It’s the ones that attack your heart that are hardest to resist

 

These heartbreaking hurts go through you like a dagger’s hard thrust

And leave you with empty feelings of helplessness and no trust

 

So as you go through your life and not giving it much thought

Remember what you do to another just might affect them a lot

 

From My World To Yours,
