Clearly, It's Complicated
Pour every second and every ounce,
Into a reality that cannot be actualized.
Try your hardest and go the mile;
You will be told it is not enough.
It's hard to find any solace in this world;
Your biggest achievements feel unnoticed.
If you can find the strength to realize your achievements are for you,
You perhaps can find enough peace to remember how well you have done.
You made it this far, didn't you?
There are many things I do not understand.
I do not know why some that I love can slam the door so quickly,
I do not know why some hurt eachother like this.
I know that the more love I splash on others the more love washes over me:
I know that it does not pay to be angry.
I know that you did your best,
I know you have regrets.
I know you have achievements,
And I know you deserve love.
It's just hard to realize you aren't the love I deserve.
