What It Is



Ignorantly blissful of what the future holds

The wrong turns you will make

The hearts you will unknowingly break

The sadness you will endure

When everything becomes real

Outside in the world

The night passes quickly to day

People you love some will go

While others will stay

Faces will fade to grey

While relationships grow

You learn the truth

Behind the white picket fences

Where everything was painted perfect

The work that goes into loving another

The fact that not everyone stays together

Sometimes forever is a blink of an eye

While others cherish their time

Till the day they die

You will think you can be anything

And you will find the only hand that holds you back

Is your very own

The taste of love can be as bitter

As the words you speak from hate

The keys to happiness are different for everyone

Since the locks to our hearts are not the same

It is easier to blend into the crowd

Than to stand for what you believe

You’ll forever be figuring out who you’re supposed to be
