Let Me Tell You Something

June 5, 2014

Let me tell you something -

Life isn't fair.

It lures and taunts and cheats and lies.

Don't listen to life because life doesn't have the answers.

Let me tell you something -

Life is grief.

Every tear, every anguished cry

It needs those to survive - to thrive.

Let me tell you something -

Life is death,

It doesn't care about you, your friends, your family -

Life works for someone who just want you lost.

Let me tell you something else:

I lied.

Miracles and joy and love -

Look around you!

Life is overflowing with it!

For every tear there is a laugh,

For every cry there's a song.

When you shed a tear,

When there is a blade pressed against you skin,

Remember this:

Life is what you make of it.

See the hope and the joy, not the fears.
