Honestly, it's hard to look at the silver lining
A glass half full, a valiantly pitiful attempt
Like fine dining with absurd amounts of debt
Or luxurious liabilites that won't follow you after death
To find reason to smile is often very challenging
Knowing that every story would eventually reach its ending
The cameras stop rolling as curtains roll out
Concluding the film without a sequel or an alternative route
"Look at the bright side", they said
"Be happy it even happened,” such ludicrousy
I'm at a point where no hug could mend
My deepest of wounds to any sort of extent
Funny how reality is predicably disappointing
But still, we kept on waiting, and waiting
For miracles to happen, but it never does
Hope is, after all, a highly addictive substance
