despite


Dark and light;

hot and cold

black and white;

youg and old.

These are the baselines of life

often emitting strife.

You're the wife

to time; never leaves, never ends.

You'll always hear its pendulum chime.

You'll never know how muc you're worth

till you face the end of the earth.

Everyday is a second chance

to do the impossible-

like being face to face with danger as you prance.

The darkness viels the face of your fear constable

making it hard to decifer between what's real and not

while putting your life on the line like casting a lot.

Life is unfair.

It never deals you an even pair.

So, would you dare

to never compare

yourself to what's there around you.

It will give you peace's share.
