Life never came with a manual telling us what to do if you are heartbroken, sad, mad, or in love. We kind of just wing it. What does matter is how you grow from that. These poems are from my many gains, losses, ups, and downs. I have lost a lot of people in my life. Some who left, some whom I left. One thing I learned from all of this; life goes on. Life does not stop for anyone. Time is going to pass whether we like it or not, but what you do in that time, is what matters. Sara I. Raad
