CERTAIN THINGS

There are certain things

That I never imagined

There are certain things

I never knew I could survive

Certain things

That I knew I won't recover from

But those certain things

Made me stronger

Made me hate

Till I chose to love

Made me sad

Till I valued happiness

Made me Die

But hopefully I resurrected

There are certain things that break us

To remake us into something greater

Those certain things don't define us

But rather redefine our outlook

Those certain things

Might not be pleasant

Might not be the prettiest to share

But they give us a choice

A choice to drown

Or learn to swim

There are certain things

That happen

And we learn to live again
