Letting Go As We Grow
Carrying on through the everyday
In Our thoughts and the words we say
Conforming to the society's way
An inertial pattern would stay
As we grow and become more mature
We should embrace our life with our failure
Knowing this and not searching for reasons why
Accepting our mistakes and admitting our lie
Letting go of the past and forgiveness to seek
Being forgiving doesn't mean you're weak
Nor is it saying you're a doormat as choice
For people to walk over you without a voice
There shouldn't be a need to justify
But to let go of animosity inside
And in all that was cast
Shedding the weight,
In all that we relate
And not repeating the past
We cannot change people, but we can certainly change inside
If we can all learn to simply forgive and admit what we hide
First to ourselves and then to every other
There's no need to continue deceiving another
To assume our blame
To embrace our shame
The lessons in life to becoming better
It takes a bit of courage and will to endeavor
And the result is in the respect
You may not know or even expect
But this is life, simply teaching us to grow
As in failures, and in our strife
All our achievements would certainly follow
And yet...
In our lives, and what we're born into
Following the rules and pursuing we do
But There are questions, questions of why
Questioning everything even as we die
What're our reasons for being?
Within this reality, we're seeing
Why are we born? and why do we die?
And do we all truly, have a soul inside?
Why do we feel emotions? And why is there pain?
And what happens when we go, and what would remain?
When did this all begin?
And are we truly alive and living?
What's the purpose of life each day?
In my mind these questions display
