They Say..

They say you can do anything if you just try, and "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." But what if you get sick of trying? What if you get sick of trying to be someone evryone wants you to be? What if you get sick of trying to do something you hate?

They say you have to deal with what life throws at you. "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." But don't you know that lemonade is sour and acidic? Why can't life hand you strawberries or chocolate? It always give you something potentially harmful.

They say "knowledge is power." But knowledge is also weakness. Some things are better off unknown. Some things you can't control. Knowledge hurts. It plays with your mind and tempts you with thoughts you can't handle.

They say "Curiosity killed the cat." But I say "Satisfaction brought it back." I'd rather satisfy my curiousity than spend the rest of my life wondering. Breaking my mind in half with possibilities instead of just finding out myself, is just not me.

They say, "Be careful with what you wish for." But all I wish for is love and understanding and wisdom and the strength to go through everyday life. And then I think and understand the warning. Love can break your heart and spirit. Understanding can weaken your resolve. Wisdom can drive you insane. And if you are GIVEN the strength to go through life, than are you really living?

They say "The truth shall set you free." But the truth only shackled me down. If anything, I feel heavier, not lighter. The truth damages yourself as well as others. Sometimes you need the lies in order to survive.

I read something once that said: "Don't take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway." And I choose to go by this saying because it's something I do anyway It's the best advice I've ever heard , but that's just me.

they say, sick of it, proverbs, the truth, lies
