I call this ... HOPE!

It turns out that everything you once believed in

Is no more

There is not even a shadow of the dreamer

You used to be at 15.

There is no great love

Waiting for you in the eye of the storm

Or at the end of a dark shadow

Or very stressful existence

Happiness is not a destination

It’s not a place you’ll reach

at the end of all the suffering.

There is no absolute truth

There is no complete honesty,

There is a just a reality

A world full of lies

Deceit

Unfaithfulness

Killing

Dishonesty

Hate

Envy

Even those who appear most innocent

Harbor ugly and dark secrets… thoughts!

Those who you once called friends

May become your enemies

All that you thought was important may become trivial

All the dreams that you once thought were guaranteed,

because you put all your heart and time into it

May never be accomplished,

You can’t change anyone

Yet you are so willing to change for them.

Love should have no limit, no prejudice, no preference

But it does

Love may appear in unexpected places,

Or it may never appear at all

When it ends, you realize that it [love] never truly existed.

We give so much of ourselves to “the one”

But eventually they will break you

Life has no arch; don’t expect every beginning to have

A happy ending or even an end at that

Some may live their entire life in limbo.

Those you once called friends, you may no longer

Identify with.

Not every sob story has a laugh at the end

Everything has an end, and it’s not necessarily death.

Everyone feels lonely

Everyone cries

Everyone yearns for something more,

Most will spend an entire life

searching for “that” something that probably doesn’t exist.

Most can’t sleep during the night, but sleep the pain away during the day,

Those who are unable to feel or exude these ugly yet real

Emotions, are slowly rotting inside their little fairytale bubble

But maybe there is HOPE!
