Life


Consider the meaning of life

Having to hear what people think life is

How does it work?

Why it’s here?

But what I wander through this life that I’ve had

Would be “why are we all here?”

Is there an actual way to solve life?

Why do we do this?

We Strain ourselves just to find what the truth is

And once we do it either come out bad or what it was

Supposed to be and yet if it’s bad

We hide it from society

Not wanting it to crumble in the truth of life

In the truth of the world

What do you think the truth it?

Maybe it is what you think of it

Maybe your truth is the answer to only your life

And every life we have that truth

Is the answer to your universe?

Why is life cruel, making us find its answer that?

May not be even there

We’re just chasing a ghost answer

A Lie, a lie that society is fighting over

And a lie that tears life apart

Just stop and believe what you believe what life is

Don’t ever be tied down to the lies of society

The world we live in today
