when life gives you lemons,
you make lemonade.
but what if life gives you;
sadness?
happiness?
anger?
fear?
well you wipe away the tears and stick it out.
you enjoy it while you have it.
you simmer down and control yourself.
you face it.
But what if you can't do those things?
good question.
you don't always have to do the things life wants you to give in return.
you don't have to wipe away the tears, you can just cry,
until your eyes are as dry as a desert.
you don't have to enjoy the time you have it but make the time stretch on longer.
you don't have to control it, but let the Hulk inside you come free.
you don't have to face it, but cower away and hide.
when life gives you lemons,
you don't have to make lemonade.
you can just eat them.
