Everything happens…
Everything happens for a reason.
This quote was so close to me my whole life.
Believing that the universe or some holiness
will keep me safe and sound at night.
I feel like I need to let you know this is only,
the furthest thing from the truth,
that I have ever heard.
At least in my own life.
Everything happens.
That is the end of the quote.
There is nothing to add to it to make it sound special,
or give a false representation of hope.
It's not smart to make a phrase that only breaks hearts.
In life, you get dealt everything,
good times and bad times,
they are all the same.
Learning experiences and what you do with them is what you get.
But I will tell you everything does not happen for a reason.
When you are injured, and you need to fight.
When you are hungry and all you want is food.
When you have become nothing but a drug addicted bafoon.
When the person you love the most has died.
These aren’t only examples,
but truths of my own life.
These things didn’t happen for me to learn a lesson.
Unless it means life equals pain, then I’m all out of guesses.
