Life
Life's most precious gift is itself
For the wealth of life far surpasses any type of physical fallback
It overrides the most powerful rulers
and it stands strong when the wind pushes and pulls at its seams
It may seem ife is hard
It's like the diamond in the rock
And from what I've learned in Science class, the diamond's only enemy is itself
For nothing else can mar the edges of a rock with potential
And by potentioal I mean a substancial amount of knowledge, wisdom
Yeah, life is smart
It can see beyond the clouds and take advantage of the stars
It wasn't given any special abilities
Yet it has defied the forces of gravity
And yeah, life is beautiful
It can paint a picture blending colors together like the patterns of it's DNA
It can hear a broken heart as easily as it can see a man crying out to the moon
And yeah, life can be broken too,
Two as in two individuals
One a man who's every action consists of holding this woman in his grasp
Competing for live with the advantage of fear
The screams the neighbors hear are not screams of pleasure wrapped in bed sheets
But screams of immeasurable pain wrapped in blood sheets
Blood seeps from every wound inflicted but life continues to stay
And so the cycle continues.
He needs her
He feeds her
He beats her
He relieves her
He leaves her
He needs her
He feeds her
He beats her
He relieves her
He leaves her
Until life is no more.
But the aspects of life that will continue to soar above the highest scyscraper
Are faith, love, and resilience.
So when we think that life's neen knocked down we watch it crawl on hands and knees until it can stand again.
When we see the blood trickle down life's temples from a suckerpunch we watch it double jab back. Life can only end by the almighty's will.
And until then life remains inconquerable.
