Life makes no mistakes
Or so they say
They say to do whatever it takes
To make this your best day

But what if at the end of every good day
There were consequences for being happy
What if at the end of hours of play
Everything changed from great to crappy

lost in my mind
and honestly I’m downing
can’t get in a breath
all I hear is the shouting

it’s coming from all angles
and they left me for dead
all the angels ran
now I’m stuck with the demons in my head

Once I wished to love
Once I wished to smile
Once I wished to be free
Once I wished to be me

Then I hoped to stay
Wishing things were fine
Now I hope to be okay
Knowing things don't shine

you said you’d never lie,
you promised i could trust you,
yet your lies reek, and your dishonesty is like a hammer
every reassuring word like another swing at my already shattered heart.
the bloodied pieces dirty the floor, some of them still pulsing.
you apologize again, then demand i clean it up.

I need my heart to live, my dear,
i want to stay alive.
but it’s okay, take another swing,
because unlike you,
i meant it when i said i’d die for you

(i know it’s a bit longer and it’s only the first draft, so please excuse the silly wording)

Diana Lopetaitė

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
