my seven minutes

                       
 

"We are no longer on good terms, we are no longer anything" 

I read and it got me thinking 
Have we been though so much that it's almost impossible to feel. 
No love lost but all love lost 
All the back to back inconveniences,
trouble in paradise, bad luck 
just something stopping us from being us. 
But who are we ? 
You are you and I am me 
But what are we ? 
As one at least 
This world is just a story book 
All the ups and down
 i don't mean roller coasters and marry go rounds 
We spend years trying to make things perfect
but as soon as things go right they go wrong. 
You go up, life goes down 
You think positive, things turn out negative 
You try reverse psychology and the world laughs
and your face and goes I've been there I've done that 
"I was quiet, but I was not blind" I read 
and I started thinking some more 
I sit back and just observe all the twisted luck 
this chaotic world has to offer and there's nothing I can do about it. 
You can observe but you cannot change. 
You can tweak but you cannot fix. 
We live in this chaotic world
and there is nothing that can be done about any of it.
I often stay up late over thinking
reminiscing and repeating old memories 
I've become paranoid, I can hardly sleep 
I question the world so often that I cry 
I know there is no such thing as perfect but the least bit of happiness will keep my mind off of things. 
I have been through so much it's impossible to feel.
No love lost but all love lost
