Everything around us
And everything within us
Is not real
We thrive in a never changing
Life and death
Day and night
Love and hate
Nothing stays the same
As nothing stays the same
Most things are just illusions
And stay the same for what feels like eternity
Look at someone
Each day, they will have a smile on their face
And are positive about everything
But are they happy?
They could be, but they may not
Forcing a smile to avoid the questions:
"Are you okay?", "Do you want to talk?"
"Why are you sad?"
What's worse is the answers you get
After giving them an explanation...
"It'll get better" "Everything is going to be
okay"
"You're still young, it will get easier"
But they know it won't
Life doesn't get better
And it doesn't get worse
It just changes
The changes that come
Take the weight off your shoulders
And replace them with shackles
It's just different
Which chances the illusion
Nothing is truly there
We create the mirage
That we're not alone
Maybe it softens the blow
Or even helps us sleep at night
But life changes, and is not a circle
It's a straight line, point A to point C
It's up to us to create point B
