Self Preservation

We like to ignore what could hurt us. 
We like to turn and look away from what scares us.
We don't like change, because it's unknown.
We don't like goodbyes.

It's hard to have feelings when everything around you is hurtful.
You have violent acts and heartbreak.
You have people who are out to get you.
You say goodbye to people you love, 
Sometimes, forever. 

It's impossible to not feel, 
no matter how hard we want or try,
We will always cry.

We feel and we hurt. 
We love and we cry.
That's just life. 
We can fight it and be defeated,
or accept it and be defeated. 

The truth is self preservation is lives great lie. 
We can't ignore it. 
It's there. 

Life keeps going,
Even when we fall.
