Its not that easy!

As people we sit and try to forget that not so happy part of our lives

We try to bury it deep underneath the surface and have this always positive outlook on life

But then it rises and suddenly you find yourself having these regrets

Always hating that moment always wishing it never happen

You look at yourself in the mirror cry your heart out

Hoping by the time you've cried your last tear that it'll all be over

You step outside of your box and when reality reaches your nostrils you realize

It’s not that easy

 

As people we give our all in a task forgetting that life's lessons are forever

So at the end we are very tiresome and become very bitter to the next generation

Telling them that they have no idea and that we were never like that

But truth is we had no idea that we became like that

We treat others as though they owe us something, nobody owes us anything

We owe it to ourselves to train up the next generation with respect

But it’s not that easy

 

As people we love past our heart hoping that what’s given will be returned

It’s unfortunate to see that not everybody is alike so our mindset vary

We meet a person and try them out, eventually building up this idea that they're the one for us

We convince ourselves that no matter what they do wrong there will be a better tomorrow

But in reality that persons actions will not change because of who they are

You start to live for them, you start to hate for them

You slowly become them and forget what love is all about

By that time it’s too late to turn back the hands of time

Trying to get back to you

Yet it’s not that easy

 

As humans we do the wrong things in life, making mistakes we never learn from

And then when we deal with the consequences, it’s as if we have no idea

We try to handle it but it’s not our demeanor to fully understand

So we call ourselves learners by actions that forgive and forget

But on the inside we hold onto things saying that you will get your revenge

Forgetting that the mistake you made was seeking something that was never meant to be found

We run back to the old and hope that everything we did is all forgotten

And still it’s not that easy

 

It’s not that easy to forget your past

It’s not that easy to treat others with respect

It’s not that easy to find yourself when all is lost

It’s not that easy to have a heart full of revenge

Yet many alone are making deals with death to make life easy

To ease their pain to relive that moment just one last time

To have a peace of mind to dream forever to have me time

 

One thing in this life is Easy. But the catch is you won’t see the next

Let your life be hard, don't take the Easy way out.

Death... is easy. But it gets you nowhere!
