Insight of Life

Sometimes you think in life That the end beats the beginning And you look for your life To have that fairy tale ending You look at other people and Say; you got success and Tears fall down because your Life seems like a mess You fought many battles But the war lies ahead You should control your life But your life controls you instead Recording of negative thoughts Play over and over in your head When you should be sleeping You toss and turn in your bed If someone would care about How you feel inside The pain it brings when all They have to offer is lies There’s this numb feeling when You find yourself alone The hurt twist your head And your joy somehow has gone You take a deep breath and And try to count to seven As you push through the anger Trying hard to reach heaven Just one little word you try Hard to whisper in prayer If God would only answer You know that he’s there Struggling in this life to Do that which is good What you know is best and What you thought you could No one ever told you that This life would be fair No one ever told you that The world would care Now it’s your time to Build high upon faith Believing you is somebody With the keys to the gate Which is your life that you Fight to keep straight Built upon love and a Long way from hate Think about this the next time You feel sorry for yourself Life becomes dusty when You leave it on the shelf.

Life in sight of insight of life. Can be your beguiling way among strife. To dwell in the shell on a pathway to hell. Makes it all more important to answer the bell. May the memories you make, be worth time they take. So you don't end just wanting to yell. Peace. :)
