Are We Built For This?
Are We Built For This?
Were we programmed to dream but expect reality;
assembled to succeed but anticipate failure;
built to live but wait for death;
constructed to love but presume heart ache;
put together to socialize but look forward to solitude?
Or
Are we supposed to find reality in our dreams;
let failure pave the way to success;
permit death to show us the vibrance of life;
allow heartache to teach us to love;
agree to let solitude explain how to appreciate being together?
