Walking in the Direction of a Car Crash

For nights as I struggled to fall asleep
I wonder as to why things happen the way they do
Are these the normal occurrences of life?
Or is there a force going against me?
Maybe these are the things we must go through
In order to learn how to live
The kind of things they never taught us
How to deal with
These things tear you apart from the core
Leaving you with nothing but, a vacant feeling
The tides will hold you down till you learn how to swim
You’ll learn to breathe and you’ll try to forget
But in the end
You’ll never be the same again
