A Few Things I Have Known

I have known love A tender kiss on the forehead Words of upliftment when I was scared A hand to hold A gentle whisper in the night Everything will be all right I have known pain The numb feeling after a heartbreak A dream in pieces Scattered on the floor Broken promises Lies, lies, lies Sugar-coated I will always love you I have known joy Opening a bag of skittlesWatching the successes of closest friends An infectious laughwhen I’m on cloud nine A double rainbow The little voice that saysSomething great is about to happen I have known life Ups and downs Merry-go-rounds Existential crises Questions, questions, questions Looking back in time Realising mistakes made me stronger Note to self: Take things one day at a time
