The Hard Parts

The strongest testimony is

To stand next to me

To hear me and to listen

Know how I feel and why

To keep jokes of what you

Know I can’t handle

Out of sight and mind

You know I’ve been through a lot

I’ve had my ups and downs

There are some things

That will never seem funny to me

I’m so proud you’ve taken the time

To know why I feel this way

I know it’s hard to hear my pain

And though I know it’s hard to believe

But it’s helped make me who I am today
