THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up
Does not trivialize your pain
The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound
Does not mean you never cried
The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy
The fact that you are alive and happy
Does not mean you aren't dead
A strange ghost animating your body
Not your dream self
The fact you woke up with a plan
Does not mean you aren't drifting through life
The fact that you love a song
Does not mean it makes you happy
The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative
Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
