No One Told Me
No one told me how life's going to be
How most of my days will be made up of mundane misery
No one explained how lonely I'd feel
Or how a broken heart would beat on still
No one said don't be kind they'll end up using you
Or how some will even use it to abuse
No one mentioned how deep the scars would go
When you gave your all but were left with nothing to show
No one relayed how day after day
You'd be forced to get up and pretend you're okay
No one shouted how you would silently cry
Alone in the dark because they all said goodbye
No one shared how loss would come more often than not
Despite your prayers or how hard you fought
No one teaches that even though time may heal
It also ticks away any joy you'll feel
No one told me just how hard life can get
And how most of my days will be filled with regret
But listen to me because I have something to say
Despite all of that, tomorrow's a new day
They may not all be winners, but there will come a few
Where despite all the things you wish you had knew
You will feel love and will laugh through all the pain
And it's days like that, that keep us all sane
If nobody told you then listen right now
Life's really hard, but also beautiful somehow
Don't ever give up because there's still good days ahead
And I guess just some things don't need to be said
Like how no one told me how life's going to be
Because it is what I make of it, it's all up to me
So I choose to be kind, to love, and to hopefully see
Just how blessed I have been, and continue to be
