Somethings aren't cut out to be what they seem.
“If someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
If a person wants to gallop out of your life,
Let them go.
Even if you know you’re the best person for them.

Some people think that the grass is much greener
on the other side, but when that person gets to the
other side they realize what they had before
was better;  too late.

Relationships come and go.
You reach for love, but life won’t let you know
That soon you’ll be all alone.
It takes a fool to learn that love don’t love nobody.

So we need to categorize people that
Become a part of our life like a tree:

Some people are like leaves
On a tree; if the wind blows they are
took to and fro. Seasons change and
they wither and die.

Some are like branches on a tree,
The ones that fool; be careful.
They seem to be a good friend,
But the minute you step on them
They will break and leave you
High and dry.

Others are the roots;
The blissful ones.

These are the ones that aren’t
Worried about anything. 
They support the tree.
Roots are all we need. 

A tree can have millions of branches
And leaves, but only need a couple
Of roots to live. When you find
Some roots, Keep them.

The rest; let them go.

“It won’t be easy letting go.”
No one said it was going to be.
It will get easier when you learn
To love yourself.

Soon you’ll be saying “You or me”
To the one with a problem.
You will make a decision.
If that person tries to fix things,
Keep them around; they care.

That’s a leaf trying to work
Its way up to something more.

Some people sit around wasting
A lifetime waiting for someone
Just to love. People will do anything
Just to say they love someone.

The truth; be blessed with what you have
Instead of trying to be unhappy with what
You don’t have.  Be peaceful .
