an unorthodox education

I'm learning 

that caring doesn't always get you 

as far as ignorance 

might. 

I'm learning that sometimes

people can forget 

you tried for them,

when no one else did.

Sometimes, it still hurts 

but that's okay because 

we were only mistakes

and friendships built on 

a therapist style communication standard 

anyway. 

A wise friend of mine

taught me 

there's nothing that smashing shot glasses

and a few hugs

can't fix,

and mama says 

that happiness

is also like a box of chocolates

because you never know

quite what you're getting yourself into.
