Life

To face our fears, we must stand tall,
To forgive, we must accept,
To succeed, we must fall,
To tell a secret, another must be kept.
Life, full of promises and difficulties, which must be faced,
but what if there wasn’t any worries or care in the world?
What if our distances are evenly spaced?
and we’re all stuck in an underworld?
Would we take notice?
Would we feel isolated,
or hopeless?
Society, in groups, it is divided.
Hopes and dreams, crushed in an instant,
But believe in yourself,
and do something different.
Take a moment and seek your true self.
