Promises

Some promises are kept, some are broken, some are twisted in a way that you forget what the initial promise was. But why do we promise? Why do we depend on them so much? We know we'll be disappointed so why do we still do it? Is it because we want to believe that we can keep stuff from happening? Stop the world from changing and people from leaving? We know we can't do that stuff and yet we still try. And then lo and behold we end up heart broken. Why? Because we realize that our life is not what it was yesterday, we find empty closets and a little note saying sorry, we hear the words we'd confided in one person in other people's mouths.

And then what? We sit down and cry and curse the world and life for being a bitch? It's our fault isn't it. Not the world's. The world shows us that things change every day, she gives us hint of what life will bring us. But do we take those hints? No. So then we lay in a corner licking our wounds hoping for a better life and better friends, parents, spouses, fiancés and better us.

And don't we look pathetic ? Aren't we a sad species indeed? Instead of getting up and get back on track we blame the others who broke the promises we forced on them. Well maybe it's time we suck it up and grow up and stop depending on promises someone made on a good day where everything looked doable.
