| Half of staying whole is knowing how to fall And half of being happy is knowing what to forget Being able to relate to others is knowing when to say I'm dying inside and when to say i'm fine You have to know when to collapse and when to dance When to give up and when to keep on slitting your wrists (the second layer of skin is always the toughest) Teach yourself to laugh instead of cry To see the humor in the most fucked up things To know the good from the bad and not to mess with the gray How to seperate the external and the internal Where they end and I begin No one is truly perfect or happy or peaceful They just adapt and go on and learn not to dwell on minute details such as LIFE and DEATH |
