Essential

It’s a funny thing, being reminded you’re human;

it’s devastating, but quintessential

to a sane mental state.

The mistake of being silent,

the mistake of false hope,

 

as you lose over and over again.

Stop wasting your time hoping you’ll win;

it’s bad for you.

 

He broke your heart right after you mended it,

but yet you didn’t need him before.

which is the reason it’s so funny.

Isn’t this just a way of reminding you

what is really essential

 

to happiness?
