Life


Your sins will eventually find you

Your lessons once learned will define you

Your fears once conquered will be behind you

And eventually the truth will scare you

But you must go through

What life has put down for you

 

You have to suffer sometimes when you live in sooth

And if you’ve never been lied to you won’t ever know the truth

 

You have to turn your back to understand loyalty

And after falling you’ll learn buoyance

 

You have to smile at the times that it hurts most

Just to keep calm those who are close

 

In life you will learn love, loss, and life

And suffer pain, anxiety, strife

 

But in the end it all makes sense

But until then your mind will stay dense
