Live, Laugh, Love. Poem by Jacquelyn Ireland

People say that living, laughing, loving
Are three keys to having a beautiful life,
But I'll tell you the truth, they aren't.

When people say to 'Live your life! ', what if you can't?
What if your so totured, your afraid?
How can you be happy, knowing that your not doing what you should be?
Living is hard, dying is easy.

Laughter doesn't make you happy, it doesn't do anything.
You smile, you giggle and people think everything is alright.
But sometimes, behind that smile, that little giggle,
Is a broken heart, something you'll never understand.

Loving doesn't heal you, atleast not all the time.
Love hurts you, it shatters you, it makes you scream.
You fall for the wrong person, the person that wants to destroy you,
How could that make you happy?

Live, Laugh, Love, it doesn't make sense!
You can't be happy off three words.
It takes compassion, care, everything you could think of to make someone happy.
You people, are just blinded by your perfect lives, you don't see outside your bubble.
