You taught me to win
and forgot to tell me
how to lose
You taught me to fight
and neglected to mention
when to stop
You taught me courage
what do I do now
that I'm afraid?
You taught me joy
where are you now
that the laughter stopped?
You taught me to believe
why didn't you tell me
that faith is blind?
You taught me love
then why do I
hate you for it?
You taught me to dream
and then set an alarm clock
leaving me awake and dreamless
You taught me hope
and never let me know
Pandora had opened the box twice
You taught me pride
Why aren't you here to help me up
Now that I've fallen?
You taught me beauty
and left out the part
about the thorns
You taught me to stand
I didn't know
You meant
alone

You're only alone if you choose to be Sherin, only if you choose to. And yes it actually made me call you something other than one of my usual monikers. Nicely written. And I'm even offering a tentative hug.
