Why face disappointment

-Really old one I found-

Why face disappointment
Why not just avoid it
May bring joy
May bring regret
Loneliness
Sleep forever
May be the only way

Every crack in the wall
Every door slammed in your face
Every savored penny
Don’t take for granted
What you have
Try not to think of what you may or may not hold
Appreciate, acknowledge,
Be grateful
Be knowledgeable
Be you

Tears won’t leave me
Tears won’t leave me
Subsist

Been keeping your head above water
Subsisting for a bit longer

At this point time has run out
Shock forms silence
Not a sound from your mouth nor hers
You stand their motionlessness
Not a moment to spare
No opportunity to shout
Your head goes under…out of vision

Your head above water no longer
You had no choice in the matter
Hatred, desperation, flounder
Figure out
Float about
Bestow upon
