Sometimes it seems
Hard to understand
Why things are
The way they are.
But even if
We don't understand
All we can do
Is move forward.
Life has its challenges
Some harder than others
But that's okay.
Challenges shape us.
They make us
Who we are.
It is not the challenges
We are given
But the way
We choose to deal with them
That defines us.
Some days
It’s hard to find
A reason
To get out of bed
The depression claws
At me
Begging me
To just stay there
Sink into the darkness
And disappear
But I don’t want to
Do that
As I stood there
Crying in the rain
I stopped and stared
At the sunset before me
My tears fell faster
As I remembered
The feel of his arms
Around me
And thought of how
Distant he’s been
Look
I’m sick and tired of all this shit and pretending
Look
I’m sick and tired of all the fairytale endings
Look
I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive like this
But look

You have such a healthy attitude when it comes to the strife of life! We could all use a dose of your positivity. And you're right: It's what we make with the lemons that defines us.
Thanks so much!
