One moment their lives were bliss

They had no worries

No deep sorrows

Or pain

They enjoyed their life

Being rebellious

Having fun

... Enjoying the ride.

But a mere second

Is all it took

For everything to change

For their whole world

To be turned upside down.

Facing hardships

They never thought they would.

... They never thought

It would happen to them.

Some start blaming themself

Even if it's not their fault

Even if no one is to blame.

' it must be someone's fault

So who says it's not mine?'

They say it's their fault it happened

Living with that " fact"

With that guilt...

With that pain...

That burden

It's not impossible

But it's not easy either

Their heart aches

From the pain

And the loss.

They don't know

What comes next

Or what lies ahead.

From this experience,

Their perspectives have changed

They are more careful

And reserved

They block themselves off

From the world.

Then, there are others

That want to pretend

Like nothing happened

...they recognize it

But they don't want to talk about it.

They go back to telling jokes

And laughing.

That is why others

Look at them

And think

How perfect their lives are

Because of the smile

On their face

We never know what someone

Is really going through.

Looks can be decieving.

Most people think that

Because they are smiling

And laughing

That they have it easy.

That their lives are " perfect"

When in reality,

They just found a way

To have joy

Even in sorrow

And hardships.

They have learned

How to endure

And make the most

Out of what they have.

...You can choose to be happy

In any circumstance 

It's not what we go through 

It's how we go through it

 It's how we choose to live our life 

Even though it's hard

 It's a choice we choose daily

 And the choice is yours 

So I suggest you choose wisely
