Fading Lanterns

I've been looking

for a long time why As if understanding could change all that

I looked at the situation from all angles

Looked for the right door in the middle of disorder

I wanted to hold what was slipping through my hands

As if wanting stronger could change the path

But some things happen without asking permission

And some silences become answers So tonight,

I finally put down my arms

Even if acceptance still comes with tears

I'm not saying I understand

I'm just saying that I no longer need to fight against the

wind

I accept,

even if it hurts Even if my heart finds it unfair and

brutal

I accept that some stories end Without explanation,

without last chorus

I accept what I can't change Even if I wish I could

fix everything

I let go of what had to go Not because I'm fine,

but because I have to move forward

There are days when I pretend to be strong

Then the night reminds me of everything I still wear

I think back to the "what if",

the paths we could have taken

To the words never said,

to the dreams that we wanted to defend

But life never comes back

She teaches us to walk with our scars And maybe peace is

not to be right But to stop

asking the past for another version

I don't necessarily forgive everything today

But I'm learning not to let it decide my life anymore

I accept, even if it hurts Even if my heart finds it

unfair and brutal

I accept that some stories end Without explanation,

without last chorus

I accept what I can't change Even if I wish I could

fix everything

I let go of what had to go Not because I'm fine,

but because I have to move forward

Maybe accepting doesn't mean that everything is fine

It's just understanding that tomorrow still belongs to me a little

I can be sad and continue

I can have pain and breathe

I can lose something

Without losing myself

I accept, even if it hurts

Even if some nights seem endless

I accept that I will not have all the answers And that

sometimes, letting go is the only direction I accept what I can't

change

I keep the lessons,

I let the rest fade away And if my heart still trembles

on the way I will walk anyway,

slowly, towards tomorrow

I don't need to like this situation

To accept that

it has become my reality

Today, I breathe

And for now... It's enough
