Can You Handle It?

Can you handle it?
You say you want the truth.
But can you handle the truth?
You say you want real.
But can you handle real?
You say you want to be free.
But can you handle freedom?
You say you want to go to Heaven.
But can you handle all the things it takes to get there?
You say you want to be closer to God.
But can you handle the test?
Can you handle peer-pressure?
Can you handle the ways of this world?
Can you handle denial,betrayal,anger,poverty,forgetfulness,love,friendship,death 
or even sadness?
No one would never know what they can handle until it comes down to it.
So i say unto you 
WHAT CAN YOU HANDLE?
