More often than not

More often than not,

By Emily Allison

People will break your heart.

And in return, you’ll break hearts too.

You’ll hold onto things that you shouldn’t,

but will learn over time, it’s easier to let go …

Inspiration will come in magic moments, and

you’ll find breakthrough in the breakdown …

in times of great sadness, you’ll discover

who you really are,

because what you find at the bottom

is what breaks you wide open …

We are all dreamers, and sinners,

refugees and light seekers.

While time and space will always collide,

it’s hope, perched on the blooms of change,

where we find new meaning to this strange –

yet beautiful adventure called life.
