Confront Your Conflict

Have you ever heard a song
But couldn't understand the words?
But you know that is consisted of 
Adjectives nouns and verbs
A persons life is similar to that
What you see is not always what you get
Instead of adjectives nouns and verbs
There is a future past and present
And without all three
Your are left with just a fragment
 And a fragment at times
Can be very misleading
And without the whole picture
Who are you to be judging?
No one knows what will occur
Lifes struggles and pains that they will endure
Some things can be life altering
And some things you cant prevent from happening
And sometimes you have to go through some things
And confront the conflict that life brings
Some people make their circumstances their definition
And coincidently thats how people define them
You can either use your circumstance as an excuse
Or you can excuse your circumstance
And put your new knowledge to use
Think about the things that you've been through
And all the other people it has happened to
A testimony is such a wonderful thing
And that is something that all bad times bring
So what about everybody who is going through a hard time
Someone who is not is really hard to find
So don't give up or lose your belief
Because it always gets worse before you get some relief
