For the rest of your life

 

If it was normal, everyone would have it.

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

But, normal in itself is easily chaotic, for

What is normal to a spider is a chaos to a fly.

Appearances can be deceptive, they say,

If it is too good to be true, it most certainly is, I say!

You cannot look happy with just a smile on your face, for 

What lies beneath that smile says far more than you can hide.

A broken soul often knows how to heal itself

What it doesn't know is how to forgive itself. 

Wonder why forgiving oneself is so hard? For,

We want someone else to forgive us first to be worthy of moving on.

Denial, anger, bargaining and depression should pass

Before you can finally accept and get past the past.

Grieving doesn't mean moving on from the wounds that scar, for

Wounds heal, scars stay but what doesn't break you makes you strong.

If closure would mean peace of mind for once

It would be the thing everyone would trade for, at once.

But the truth is that closure means forgiving without an apology, for

Forgiveness is a virtue of the strongest souls!

It is our choices and not abilities that make us.

It is our actions and not words that define us.

Sooner or later there comes a day when you must choose and act, for

The same efforts go in making ourselves happy or sad. 

No one can tell you what to choose,

No one can act for you when you choose.

It is you who must decide when the time comes, for

It is you who will live with that choice for the rest of your life.
