Nov 2014
I was in a great place in my life
Everything was going right
and I was happier than I'd ever been
I couldn't find a thing to complain about
But the way that life works
everything has to be in balance
You can't have positive
without negative
So I did not expect my good streak
to last very long
but it was still a surprise
when every good thing I had
flipped upside down
When every positive aspect
negated itself so that I was right back to where I was before
It breaks my heart
but I accept it silently
I don't complain because I don't want anyone to hear
how miserable I've become
In the short time I've been away
I don't want anyone to know
the depression I'm feeling
Because we were all doing great together
and I don't want to be
the first one to fall
burned up
