What I've Learned

Silence isn't always awkward .
Beauty isn't always on the outside.

Intelligence isn't always defined by grades.
Different doesn't always mean bad.

Church isn't always a place of safety
and religious people aren't always the kindest,
just as people who don't believe aren't always cruel.

Girls in pretty dresses aren't always sweet
like how people wearing black aren't always delinquents.

Music isn't always heard
and books aren't always read,
but they are felt.

Black nails and clothes isn't always a sign of drugs.
The quiet ones aren't always the good ones,
but they do know more about the world around them.

A smile doesn't always mean they're okay.
People don't always keep their promises.

Breathing doesn't always mean alive
and alive doesn't always mean living.
