How to survive a divorce

1- Accept that it's happening

2- Realize your not the only one hurting

3- Bury your pain

4- Only cry for others

5- But never in front of others

6- Don't let them feel the same

7- Pretend it never happened 

After all your still you right

Wrong 

Because your friends say you've changed

And your teachers hug you in the hallway

Because you still won't admit your not ok 

7- realize you need new tactics

8- decide it's ok

9- hope everyone forgets

But they won't 

Because you'll always be the kid 

who broke down in the middle of class 

crying because it was all too much

10- start to fear being different

11- try to fade away

12- enter middle school

13- make some crappy friends

14- make bad choices

Because you need to fill the gap somehow

And making them think your lively 

makes them think your ok

15- fix yourself

16- make real friends

17- pretend divorce is a part of life

18- pretend you never made mistakes

19- pretend to be perfectly fine 

20- let your mom get remarried

21- be ok with moving away

22- find out your older brother

Who might as well be god in your eyes

Isn't coming with you

23- Cry a lot

But don't let him see you cry

But let him know how much you miss him

24- try to start over

25- spend a year getting your crap together 

26- accept that this is your new life

27- enter highschool

28- realize that now divorce is everyday life

29- stop taking advice from someone who obviously fails at life

In fact you probably shouldn't have read this in the first place

In fact it probably wouldn't work anyways because none of you are in 6th grade

But still

30- Stop taking my advice
