The Frowns Outplay the Smiles
The pain is in my veins
My mind tries to maintain
A strength needed to survive
But sometimes life seems too much a compromise!
Why do I stand here surrounded by fear?
Why do I strive to make life clear?
Is life really worth the tears?
Is it worth all the fears?
Sometimes the downs outweigh the ups
The frowns outplay the smiles
You have to reason for more miles
On this journey through life's trials
You have to find a will to fight
Or life will crush you out of spite.
