Why is it so hard to trust someone,
but easier once you trust them?
So easy to lose someone,
but so hard to deal with the loss?
Why are we so capable of loving,
but just as capable of lying?

Why is it so rare to be grateful nowadays,
but so common to complain?
Why do we find conflict with such ease,
but the deeper we dig the more we lose peace?
To hurt someone is easy but to heal can be impossible.

It’s so hard to use your voice,
but it’s just as hard when you become silenced.
Why do we try so hard to be beautiful,
When we fail to realise that we already are?

We decide to hate ourselves,
Because it’s easier to disbelieve in the faith of hope and happiness.

Why do we look in the mirror,
and only see the flaws?
A reflection will only show you what you choose to see.
Look at the whole thing.
When you ripple a river,
It’s harder to see what’s truly beneath…
