"I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so that you learn to let go. You believe lies so that eventually you learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes, things fall apart so that better things can fall together."-Marilyn Monro

I hate it,
When I have to lie.
Give a fake smile,
Pretend not to care.

I hate it,
Thinking about the future,
Not knowing what's to come,
But only knowing,
You might be alone.

I hate it,
The truth;
It seems so much sharper,
Cuts so much deeper,
Than the lies we wrap ourselves in.

I hate it,
The ignorance,
The insincerity when,
Someone deserves better.

I hate it,
The discoveries,
Finding someone isn't so nice,
Finding someone can't be trusted.
Finding you've lost a friend.

I hate it,
The people changing.
It only reminds me,
I'm changing too.
