Life Is What You Make It

Birth begins a newborn's step into a world unknown.
And whether they have many friends or spend it all alone. 
Depends on many different things like if your kind or not.
Cause what you give is what you live and truly what you've got.

What can be said when you are dead if you have failed at life.
Rue and regret did make his bed that was so full of strife.
But everyone has their own path that they make in this world.
Let's hope it has a magic carpet that the God's unfurled.

I know in life that things get tough, more for some than others.
Hopefully, when you've had enough, you have sister's and brother's.
Cause sometimes you can fake it and just take a deep breath.
But when you feel that you can't take it, you almost welcome death.
