' Ain't got nobody in all this world, ain't got nobody but ma self. I's gwine to quit ma frownin' and put ma troubles on the shelf' <br /> -Langston Hughes <br /> <br />Alone, but not lonely <br /> <br />Content, but not happy <br /> <br />I learned an ordeal from you... <br />that life ain't no fairytale, <br />and that you can't spend ya <br />whole life... Dreamin'. <br /> <br />I made mistakes... <br /> alot <br />not because of you but <br />because of myself. <br /> <br />From my mistakes I learned... <br />that all I have is myself. <br />I learned that no one will <br />truly love me but me. <br /> <br />That's what I intend to do. <br />Quit my frownin' and love me, like I thought... <br /> you did.<br /><br />Toynia Edmond<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/langston-hughes-3/
