buts

There are things in life we wished we have

and there are also things that we wish we didn't had

but when did we start being obsessed about having?

We had to be picky

The reason might be because we are ruled by our own emotions or… are we?

Acting cool, acting happy, acting like nothing happened

We had to be tricky, in a way we could go on

To adapt to things like change, from good to bad or vice versa

Change in ourselves, surroundings and uneven dreams

That's the power of acting, the empathy of seeing the other side

but it's never going to be the same again

Looking back, it could hurt us in many ways, but why?

Does it have to do with ourselves getting hurt?

Or are we just being drained by the thought of being alone?

I guess this is something you should think about

You know that you’re sexy as hell

Talented af, for real

and you’re as beautiful as a sunflower blooming beneath the sun

Things you wanted to hear? 

Well, this is either sweet or incomplete

cause you see, we are very much entitled to our own opinions

Think what you want or never mind it as you see fit

The thing I like most about this is your use of the pronoun "we" which is more inclusive, like we're all here learning our lessons together, not some writer getting all preachy toward us. My only regret is that one instance where you use the word "should" -- nobody likes to be told what they should do. Let's lead the reader to realizing something for themselves, rather than telling people what they should do. The last one-third of this poem reads a little disjointed (& I think this is somewhat intentional), but I think you're trying to get across that even when people might say what you think you want to hear, it still won't be good enuf when one is in the mindset of seeking confirmation externally. There's always going to be something that someone didn't say or didn't say right or whatever the problem appears to be when faultfinding takes over one's psyche. In the end, we all need to draw from our inner resources so that what other people say & do are not overly examined in a search for strife. Overall, this is a unique way of stating a universal theme of living in a more independently balanced way (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
