Sometimes and Other Times

(under constant review)

Sometimes, living in the past is what’s best for your mind,
Other times, living in the past destroys the present and the future,
Sometimes, losing your heart’s greatest love inspires you to even greater things,
Other times, losing your heart’s greatest love initiates an irreversible depression,
Sometimes, a torrent of abuse provokes the desired reaction,
Other times, a torrent of abuse merely exasperates everything,
Sometimes, telling the truth cancels out the wrong caused by that truth,
Other times, telling the truth is the final nail in the coffin constructed by that truth,
Sometimes, saying I love you is the hardest thing you could ever have to say,
Other times, saying I love you is so natural and easy that it has to be fake,
Sometimes, showing someone you love them means showing a million others aswell,
Other times, showing someone you love them means telling someone else you hate them,
Sometimes, the brave step up and show everyone why they are labelled ‘the brave’,
Other times, the brave step up and wilt so embarrassingly others wonder how they earned the title of bravery in the first place,
Sometimes, faith can be rewarded in the most unlikely of ways,
Other times, faith can be torn apart in the most unlikely of ways,
Sometimes, your conscience can cause the noblest of actions,
Other times, your conscience simply ceases to exist at all,
Sometimes, a nod and a smile are the best ways to deal with a frown and a grunt,
Other times, a witty remark and a sly wink are the best ways to deal with a frown and a grunt,
Sometimes, the best of us are the ones’ who make martyrs of us all,
Other times, the best of us hold back when most would charge blindly,
Sometimes, the blind see further than the seeing,
Other times, the deaf hear more than the hearing,
Sometimes, people hold back when they should say what needs to be said,
Other times, people say what they should say outright, and destroy everything around them in the process,
Sometimes, the best form of communicating lies in saying nothing,
Other times, one carefully chosen word says everything,
Sometimes, when you make a mistake it's the best for everyone,
Other times, when you make a mistake it's worse for everyone else,
Sometimes, tears fall out of complete joy,
Other times, tears fall because everything else is falling too,
Sometimes, getting up in the morning is the most difficult thing you'll do all day,
Other times, days pass by in a blur until the moment of destiny you've been dreading comes,
Sometimes, turning to a friend is worse than turning to an enemy,
Other times, turning to an enemy brings about circumstances unforeseen,
Sometimes, what you seek the most is closer than you could ever hope to imagine,
Other times, what you seek the most has something to seek all of its own,
Sometimes, the words ‘if’, ‘maybe’ and ‘unsure’ are exactly what’s needed,
Other times, a single doubt causes multiple mayhems…

Sometimes, the world around you begins falling apart…
Other times, this is simply the world coming together…
