Poems About Life

I've held the memories of the pain for long enough
And I don't want to think of the sorrow
I remember the times that were so tough
And I remembered waiting for tomorrow
But as times change and I become who I'm meant to be
I realize that I don't regret the misery
And I don't regret the people I met along the way
There were many who hurt me and many who lied
I've been betrayed and abandoned
But all these times led to others that made up for it
Where would I have ended up if I'd never met them?
Who would have made my life better if it wasn't the worst?
This is what I think of to get rid of the pain
Because I want to think it was all meant to be
I want to believe that I'm where I'm supposed to be
It's all part of the greater plan
I have angels looking out for me
So when I reminisce the bad times
The good times come flying in
And the smile comes back to my face
Where the tears once were, so long ago

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have bad memories, like I'm sure everyone else does, and sometimes they pop up in my head and I remember the hurt once again. But then I realized that these memories aren't as bad as they seem, and that instead of pushing them away in hatred, I should just remember what the good was that came out of it. And I do this as often as I can so I remain positive and as happy as possible. I don't want to let these memories affect my present and destroy my future, but I don't want to let them be forgotten completely so I can remember all the things that matter most.
