It's not always rainbows and butterflies



It's not always rainbows and butterflies
there is plenty of pain and betrayal mixed in
its hard to hold on to your rainbows and butterflies when harsh reality is trying to suck you back in
make you realize what your life really is take away your false sense of happiness
without this false sense of happiness we are nothing but anger, sadness and betrayal
we betray the people we love to try to feel one little ounce of joy but instead we hurt ourselves by hurting our friends and family
we have our rainbows and butterflies ripped out from beneath us never to return again and all we are left with is the false sense of security we once had which soon fades into nothing once more to start this vicious cycle over again
