Contradictions (Part I)

Life goes on
full of contradictions,
cruel sometimes.
People rationalizing events
wondering what they did
           (wrong)
and why,
but finding themselves
           (happy)
anyhow.

I've lived my life like that:
making mistakes,
but ignoring them
because I was
           (happy)
in the rational world I
lived in.
But completely overlooking that
life was SO cruel to me.

Contradictions
Life goes on
and can be merciful sometimes.
I witnessed:
I was rudely pulled from my
           (cruelty)
           happiness
and I wondered
           (why;)
what I did
           (wrong).
And life showed me
by bringing you
and suddenly I realized
that Life isn't about
rationalizing;
Life just
           Is

Merciful
I discovered a whole new
kind of happiness
with a completely different contents.
I saw that I had been living
in an empty(ness)
           world.
The indisputable proof
that there had been missing something
and again I wondered
without rationalizing this time
why Life had been so cruel
           (to me)
Contradictions
Life did me a favor
by not letting me slip away in
futureles(ness)
           existence,
but giving me the oppertunity to
Experience
Real love and
show me how it is to
really care

Merciful
Give me a chance to show you
           (my)
love,
give me a chance to care
           (for you),
give me a chance

I love you
