Life As I Know It

life is a gamble 
we all take a chance
either we learn from our mistakes 
or fail to understand
if we fail to understand
then no knowledge was gained
which means for the suffering
there was nothing but pain
pain for no reason
cause u refused to see 
what was on the path ahead
what was hidden in the trees
