Cheerful Pains

Shattered and Relieved

to realize

that what we had

was nothing more

than something small

and tragic.

 

Distressed and Smiling

to read the past

figure out the fact

that you are nothing.

 

I've wasted time

but not that much

having come to terms

with the word:

"enough."

 

Crushed and Invincible

I've been so bruised

that now I'm strong

And all I can do

is breathe and learn.

 

You're a fool

but so am I.

Otherwise I wouldn't cry.

You're wise.

I'll be wise too.

And walk away

avoid your eyes

until there's no more pain.

 

Destroyed but Rebuilding.

I may never forgive you

but I'm okay with that too.

Even if I do,

I will never be your friend.

So don't say hello.

We are no more than strangers.

 

Hurt but Happy.

It's a freeing feeling

knowing you've started healing

When you stop revolving around the sun.

 

And start living for yourself.
