Having to hide,
Not wanting others to see,
The raw emotions that arise.
Wishing you were really happy,
Not wanting to be angry,
Not wanting to be fake…
You’re torn
Do you hide, or live alive
Do you face reality or live in a dream
It’s hard when you know dreams are safer and nicer than harsh reality
But dreams don’t provide raw emotions
Only what you think you will feel
You miss out on the passion and true feelings
You miss out on the ups with the downs if you avoid reality.
It’s hard to live your life unaffected by those around you
To live in the happiness and bliss you were feeling five minutes before.
Then comes crashing down by letting others into your world, your life, your feelings
Anger and frustration arise, when your happy moments are cut short
Not all of life is meant to be happy, or we wouldn’t appreciate the good
But others’ hypocrisy, selfishness, and drama can really wear on you.
Taking a deep breath, closing your eyes, alone for a moment
Try to ignore what’s bringing you down and remember the happiness
the bliss, the love, the passion, the caring…..
Immerse yourself in what you know is right, and truly live
