Life Is Just Simply Complicated

Life is just simply complicated 
And when I realized it, I literally hated
The terrible illusions that my mind created
Broke me and my confidence deteriorated 
Can't I just live without knowing the truth
The truth is always bitter
Like a terrified owl's hoot
I was happy living with the lie
Knowing the truth made me cry
In that false world, I was flying high
Not knowing that it was a false sky
I have no more guts to try
Or live like before once again
I can't just bear any more pain 
The clouds are shedding their tears
And I am vanishing in my fears
I am lost somewhere 
 The empty streets, I gloomily stare
Now no one knows I am still there 
Watching them from a distance 
I stay away from them with a lot of resistance 
I am now omnipresent.

It s such a beautiful poem, I really love reading it, you see no matter how bitter the truth is but it s always better than a lie, for a moment you might cry, feel sad but eventually you ll accept it, and that s what life is. It s a series of good and bad events, God test us by sometime makeing us happy while in others making us sad, we just need to thank Him in every situation, and this life is only a test, you just need to pass it, be loyal to God and you ll have heaven without any sasness
