why is it that people divert
when they dilute their feelings
into a watered down
mess of things

false impressions
of perfection
noting that
no one is perfect

gives false hope
to others
that are less imperfect
craving a dose of attention

dose of attention
turns into addiction
all that they're wishing
is for it all to be done

mocking those who
hurt and bleed
who have a forest fire
inside their heart

simply show care
care that shows struggle
care that provides proof
that you've survived on

no longer diluted
nothing more to it
than helping words
from a hurting soul

growing with the trouble
passing up the pain
wishing for sunrise
during times that it rains

can't always choose
life sometimes does
in its own cryptic way
you either win or lose

but don't lose yourself
in a chapter
for a chapter can turn
into a sensational series

life can't always reflect
sometimes it'll neglect
showing you your story
but know it can be a best seller

don't overthink
flooding your brain
making it impossible
for thoughts to ever drain

look at your cover
open up more pages
because love is sickness
love can be contagious

don't end the story shortly
see the conclusion
admire the conflicts
and create the sequel

wishing a good life
and much love
to you and the world
and all it's people

don't shut the book
assuming the end
cause life will come around
for me and you my friend
