When You Feel
When you feel all alone, well maybe you are and maybe you're not.
We all can feel that way sometimes, and some days a whole lot.
When you feel betrayed, you go to great lengths to believe it isn't really true
And you feel relieved when you discover you now know "who!"
When you feel inadequate to even stand up to life and its adversities -
You haven't lived long enough to graduate from life's university -
Not yet! For all the years ahead will be your all-inclusive classroom
Where you finish all those lessons assigned when you left the womb.
There is so much to learn just to pass the test that life will present!
When you fail from time to time and so many mistakes you never meant
To happen - now you have to stifle guilt, one more problem to deal
With, as you are given another example you must learn about what all you feel.
