Everything happens for a reason

In this life I've experienced emotions
that i never wanted to feel
and I've been forced to see
everything i always pretended wasn't real
I've done things that to this day
i will still regret
and i have made so many memories
that i pray i won't forget
i have met so many people
witnessed both good and the bad
and I've fought pain with a strength
i never knew i had
in my life i have shed so many tears
i have smiled so many times
i have learned of my one passion in this life
and for that, written endless rhymes
i have been in love
still swear it is the only heaven on this earth
and i have been through bad times
though I'll take it for all it's worth
i have made friends and enemies
that I'll keep until the day i die
and i have tried to analyze this world
needless to say, i still don't know why
in this life i have felt pain
still from it i am stronger
and i remember that life goes on
when i feel i can't live it any longer
i have made so many mistakes
in attempts that i may learn
i have loved with all my heart and soul
and received the same in return
i have experienced, i have heard
i have felt and i have seen
and only now can i begin to fathom
what this life is supposed to mean
through all of the happiness
the struggles that we persevere
through the sunshine, the rain
and every single tear
everything is the way it is
and the way it's supposed to be
everything that I've been through
has become a part of me
so take life as it comes and remember
there's a reason for each and every day
and when it seems nothings going right
know that it's supposed to be that way.
