You Are Strong

And life

That blessed mother 

She has her favorites 

She gifts the evil 

And destroys the good 

And you are the best of them 

So when life keeps hitting you 

When each punch and kick follows another 

Just know my dear 

You did nothing wrong 

I don’t know why life hates us 

I don’t know how we’re in the wrong 

But I have my theories 

And my strongest one is this 

Those who survive greater punishment

Shall receive the greater reward.
