What you will learn in life
Updated: Dec 30, 2018
You will learn to be human to each other
until you learn to use your differences as barriers.
You will learn to see the good in people
until you find it easier to judge and label.
You will learn to play hide and seek
until you learn to hide too well.
You will learn to write your story
until you lose your place and others write it for you.
You will learn to cry out loud
until you learn to do it in silence.
You will learn by making mistakes
and then learn to measure them with self-judgement.
You will learn the joy of forgiveness
until you learn to hold onto the hurt.
You will learn to be kind to yourself
until you learn to be your own enemy.
You will learn to live moment by moment
until you learn to not let them go.
You will learn to fight for what you believe in
until you learn to give up.
You will learn to speak the truth
until you learn that lying is easier to believe.
You will learn to feel free with your emotions
until you learn to hide them.
You will start to learn a little about who you are
until you learn to believe what you are not.
You will also learn to unlearn the learning.
That you can find your humanity again
and see the equality in yourself.
That you can learn to not hide from yourself
but to learn to know yourself well.
That you can write your own story
of strength and courage and honor.
That you can learn to make mistakes
and learn the lessons they bring.
That you can learn to forgive
and learn to start with you.
That you can learn to be kinder to yourself
and be gentle with your words you use.
That you will learn to be gentle with your battles
and to surrender to the higher you.
That you will learn to speak truth to yourself
and learn the difference between the two.
Namaste
Andre
