I Have Learned

That when They are talking, not to intrude.

I Have Learned

That when Nobody is there, you are Nobody.

I Have Learned

That He is forbidden.

I Have Learned

That those who are Out can never be In.

I Have Learned

That Forever can be a short, short time.

I Have Learned

That poetry doesn’t always have to rhyme.

I Have Learned

There is no such thing as redemption.

I Have Learned

How to be silent.

I Have Learned

What to wear.

I Have Learned

What Is and what Is Not.

I Have Learned

Just how much to say.

I Have Learned

Never to Care.

I Have Learned

To destroy myself.

Oh, How I Have Learned

About You.
