Lesson of Life

I learned to be strong;

As there isn't anyone who coaxes when I cried.

I learned to be brave;

As there isn't anyone who protects when I fear.

I learned to bear;

As there isn't anyone who helps when I need.

I learned self-reliance;

As there isn't anyone to rely on when I collapse.

I no longer fear of the darkness,

I no longer fear of tiny insects,

I no longer fear of loneliness,

I no longer fear of cold.

Because I have to learn to live when I'm all alone.
