Who knew life was so


Who knew life was so long

and as long as it will be,

it will never be long enough.

No one can know it's length,

it's cause,

it's root.

Because no one can know life.

But what if you do know,

how time ticks

why what we do is done

why who we are can never be the same

what if you do know?

Now a days,

if you do know

you're a liar

if you try to figure it out

you're "playing god".

We now live in a world

where your faith can't be so strong

so powerful

or so long.

Because we can't know

and we shouldn't know

because we are just kids
