Almost Funny

Location

its funny almost, how easily you can lose yourself

but how it difficult it is to find yourself again

how you can go from being completely in the now minute

to falling apart in the next second

 

it’s funny almost, how easily the world can take you hostage

but how difficult it is to find the means to become free

how strong the iron bars stand

but how a miracle of the world withers behind them into nothing

 

it’s funny almost, how easily it is to love

but how difficult it is to let one love go

how the mind takes hold of the present

and your heart tells the future what it doesn’t know

 

its funny almost, how easily it is to talk about what made the past the past

but how difficult it is to acknowledge, that you’re better from knowing that it doesn’t last

how you’ve grown from the mistakes made and mistakes you still make

but how much wiser you are with the risks that you can say you now take 

 

i wish there was a solution to all this “humor” we come across

however, life is something of the unknown and it’s a world we live in, found or lost.
