Don't

Don't get your hopes up
If you know they'll drop again
It won't be worth the shot
No matter if you can

Don't be afraid
To mend your own heart
It's no use to try and
Forever keep your guard

Don't slip away
into that world of hope
It's gonna be much more
Than you can ever cope

Don't be defeated
Before you tried your best
It's bound to be broken
That pain inside your chest  

I guess I don't know what to tell myself sometimes. It seems life is good, and you expect it to continue that way, then suddenly everything changes. You're reminded that not everything is worth doing, not everything will change for the better. Not everything is meant to last. 

I wrote this poem in less than 10 minutes, it reminds me of me getting my hopes up again and again, experiencing that life is good and then expecting it to last. It doesn't, and then I'm reminded that life isn't always fair, that things aren't always going to last, they're not meant to be. At the same time though, although they're not worth trying, it's worse to stop trying anyway. Some day something is bound to stay so you should keep expecting, keep trying.
