A Letter To The Readers

by Mercedes   May 26, 2004


It's kinda long..but bear with me!

I am a victim of love
Fortunate enough, I lived through it
I would lie there night after night
Wondering how I would ever love again
I only loved what I knew
Ignorant to the fact I could love something so opposite from me
Although I was aware of the consequences
I continuously put myself in situations
Expecting a different result
But receiving the same outcome
I'm not quite sure what happened to me
At first, I was very precautious
I didn't give my heart to just anyone
It was way too fragile in the beginning
But nowadays
I found myself searching for people to give it to
And because of all the letdowns, my heart was no longer fragile
It was harsh and cold
Invincible to ever really be broken again
And that's when I realized
That I…
Was in love with love
I found myself constantly feening for attention
Relying on someone else
To give me what I needed
When I looked in the mirror,
I saw someone I didn't recognize
It was this female
Old and worn
At the age of 15
And thats when I decided to change
I realized that there are two sides to a situation
A good side and a bad side
That if I stuck around for the bad
I should stick around for the good
It was only fair
And that just because someone broke my heart
Doesn't mean that everyone else will
I noted that even when I fell in love with someone incredible
There would always be that possibility
You never know who's good and you never know who's bad
Until someone shows their true colors
But sometimes you just have to take that chance
And move away from your hurt and despair
Because if you don't
You'll end up lonely loving only yourself
Wondering who really loves you
But never being exactly sure
Love is a powerful thing
But don't let it fool you...
Be smart about it, and never let your guard down
And if you feel like letting go
Hold on
You never know where love might take you...
