I did not understand at first touch <br />but it is that conflict in life <br />that has shaped me to who I am today <br />these strengths were once weaknesses <br />and this love was once hate <br />being a caged bird has revealed to me <br />the beauty of freedom <br />so if you wish to be successful <br />let yourself fail <br />if you wish to be loved <br />let yourself hurt<br /><br />Angelo Velasquez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adversity-then-strength/
