What I never understood

Self-realization

It never made sense to me

That in order to be able to love someone else

And really love him

I had to be happy

By myself

It never made sense to me

That in order to be happy

And really happy

I have to give up

All the things that upset me

It never made sense to me

That the things that upset me

And I mean really upset me

Are the things

That used to bring me so much joy

It never made sense to me

How the things that brought me joy

And brought me joy in times of sadness

Are the things

That hurt me the most

It never made sense to me

That the things that hurt me the most

And really hurt me the most

Are the things

That love me the most

It never made sense to me

That the things that love me the most

And really love me

Are the things

That I can never become dependent on

Because the life we live, it never pauses, there's no remote, no rewind, and no fast forward; only play

And in the end, you're on your own.
