Smiles have now replaced tears:
They do not come from joy,
But actualization of fears
In destiny’s employ.
I have no cause to trust anyone:
Not a jot of certainty or strength,
Within this heart or mind run,
Of any scope, or any length.
What certainty in principle I knew
Now bows to lessons from lies,
Love exists like it was never true
Tainted by a myriad sighs.
I wish I can still close my eyes and dream
Instead of smiles that hide the screams.
Give up your expectations
and give in to your fate.
What is meant to be will be;
if it’s soon, it’s soon,
and if it’s late, it’s late.
Let go of that anger
I know its easier said than done –
For what use is the pain
that ends with a smoking gun?
Try and choose the quieter road
and do what should be done,
Then leave the rest to destiny;
all battles do not need to be won.
Give up your expectations –
that is the best, possible way
to learn life isn’t black or white;
it has blue and green and red
and a million shades of grey.
