And so it is...

This is a bleeding heart
and an exhausted tongue laying it out there,
dripping with brutal truth and honesty.
Sometimes,
the people you hold so dearly in this life are the ones that hurt you the most.
Life is to short to keep loved ones away,
too hold grudges,
too judge someone by their looks or age…
As humans we are interesting creatures,
we are the only ones with the capacity to love someone genuinely,
the willingness to put someone before ourselves,
and the commitment it takes to truly be with someone…
But sadly we also possess an innate propensity to
betray and hurt the people most important to us,
we turn off backs on our friends,
sometimes our own family,
even our lovers…
we say things we don’t mean
and we do things we don’t mean to do.
With so much going on at times,
it’s often hard to find the right way,
the right things to say,
the right way of doing things,
but the only thing we can do to get by is seize each and every day.
We can’t keep turning our backs on what we should truly cherish in this life,
because there truly is absolutely nothing worth regretting
and certainly nothing worth going over the deep end for.
Even when we find ourselves in hell
we must breathe,
we must take the time to let the dust settle
and we must accept the events that transpire.
HOLD STILL,
no matter how bad the sting,
how hard the fall or how severe the pain,
there’s always a way and reason to carry on
In this harsh world like today,
friends and family are all you have,
they are all you can count on!
CHERISH THEM!!!
