It Bothers Me
It bothers me that sadness
has become another
clichéd word.
It bothers me that only
a handful of us
are happy.
It bothers me that love is
no longer a hand
you're looking to hold in the crowd,
but just another life changing emotion.
It bothers me,
everytime I hear the
break in his voice,
knowing that I can't do anything.
It bothers me
how we look away from things
that hold us together and
focus on things that don't.
It bothers me how I can see
my life falling apart and
yet I can't do anything
about it.
It bothers me how we
don't question the "maybe's"
of each other.
But still.
As much as all of this
bothers you and me,
we'll still live with all of it.
Because that's how we all are.
We either choose to live life the way it is.
Or try changing it for someone else. .
