Acceptance
When you're laughing till you're choking
You can easily swear
That you will wake up
Everyday for the rest of your days
But when you're crying as if you were drowning
And the walls are closing in
You promise to a nonexistent God
That you won't make it again
The days are bright and shiny
Fake smiles everywhere
Everyone thinks your life is perfect
And so do you of them
We wear our smiles so naturally
That it's almost hard to tell
How broken and sad we are
Until we are alone by ourselves
We open every scar we have
From the ones in our arms to the ones eating up our hearts
We let it happen over and over again
Just to feel something different from despair
We go nights without sleeping
Because we're so sure that nobody's there
We've fooled ourselves into believing
"Hell, I'm a mess no one can help"
But we're so wrong in every aspect
No one is too far gone for no one to care
We tell others to find the light at the end of the tunnel
Or that if everything's not alright then it's not the end
And that's close but not correct
Because this is life
Not some monopoly play
Where you can make money, pay debts, and win the game
In life not everything is okay
There's not always a light
And you are by yourself
But you learn to live that way, and accept the good and the bad because we're all we have left
Many call this acceptance
Others call it survival
I just call it as I see it
Accepting life as I live it
