I Will Live Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I realized one important factor
That I always knew
But now know better after
That you never give anyone all of your heart
It’s not guaranteed that it won’t fall apart
It’s not guaranteed that you won’t wind up hurt
So never wear your heart on your sleeve
Hanging on your shirt
I should have known better
But I ignored it
And now I feel like I got hit by a car
But my heart got hit
And it’s damaged
All guys are the same
It has always been that way
Don’t know why I suddenly expected that to change
It is what it is
And though it hurts…
I WILL live
