Sad Things

Some things that should be sad really aren't.
Like how I'll never ride a bike with my best friend
But that's because she's too stubborn to learn.
It's okay, because
We share other things
Like Red and Blue,
Shooting up bad guys on a retro station
Drinking hard core almond milk
From a Pokémon glass.
Some things that should be sad really aren't.
Like how my brother
Isn't my brother,
But rather an adoptive guardian.
But it's okay, because
I've never been happier
Than when I'm hangin' in the friend zone,
Trench coat stained with tears of joy
Because every day I know
He loves me,
Just like I love him.
Some things that should be sad really aren't.
Like how my first love
Didn't break my heart,
But rather broke my soul
With the crippling pain she caused
Everyone she came across. Everyday
Knowing that
I'm the reason for those scars
I'm the cause of her first heartbreak.
But it's okay, because
I had to move on.
She had to move on.
Our lives are just beginning
And the pain we felt simply
Prepared us for the complications of the future,
Laughing at the angst of yester-year.
Some things that should be sad really aren't.
How such good people
Live in such bad places
Living in a stage of hope and pain,
Watching her friends frolic in the
Freedom we're given.
But it's okay, because
She's strong.
She's sick.
But we know she'll be fine,
And she'll see us,
And she'll be just fine.
Some things that should be sad really aren't.
When I look at the scars
That so many see as signs of strength
And power
And pain,
How I feel nothing but,
"I thought that wasn't as deep."
"I thought that wasn't as visual."
"Why did I do that?"
Because they're not strength,
Not beauty,
Not love.
They're weakness.
Signs of times I
Lost control to my worst enemy,
The one who knows all of my evil.
The only one who truly knows me.
Myself.
My anger.
My guilt.
But it's okay, because
They're healing.
