Hang in there

some things are never meant to be
just like how some things are only as real as dreams
illusions made perfect in your mind
tripping yourself to believe in the beautiful lies
created to find solace in them
though you know it only lasts for that few moments
you wished it could somehow become true

but of course
life could be a bitch sometimes
and oh boy does it hurt
surprised you the way it stings, something you never expected
so on this sleepless night you count the sheep
telling self that everything happens for a reason
and that perhaps god has something else installed for you
that maybe it's not a bad thing after all

tomorrow would be a new beginning
fake plastic smiles and cheerful mask get you through the day
and at night you drink down your sorrow
only to prepare for the next day of the same thing
oh but life is beautiful
because you get to be sad over things like these
rather than being in darfur or any war zones

hang in there
it will pass, i assure you
and for now
all you gotta do is believe
