Life Lessons
Why be afraid to admit the truth,
When the truth is all we have?
If when one door closes, another one opens,
why even dare looking back?
The following sentence is false,
The previous sentence is true.
Always accept a challenge,
what do you have to lose?
When you love someone so much, you hate them,
Now that’s true love.
There’s no harm in spending life as a chicken,
if you dont want to be a dove.
Everyone learns
Faster on fire.
So don’t let it control you,
act on desire.
All life is just a slot machine,
And it’s your turn to bet.
Life is a foreign language,
We all mispronounce it.
The best man never wins.
The good always die young.
We all have a face only a mother can love,
Don’t ruin it by a slip of your tongue.
Learn from others’ mistakes,
And by God! Make your own.
Always respect your mother,
I don’t want to hear that tone.
Life is like a box of chocolates
You never know what you’re going to get.
You know the best thing about pain?
It lets you know you’re not dead yet.
Life sucks, get a helmet.
Stand tall, fight hard.
Life’s a hand of poker,
We all get dealt a bad card.
Don’t outsmart your common sense.
Don’t bend until you break.
When times get tough, suck it up.
Because sometimes it’s all you can take.
Never play not to lose,
Always play to win.
Keep the key to your heart in good hands,
So only true love can get in.
Just because there are cactuses in the world,
Doesn’t mean you have to sit on them.
If you decide to wear the pants in the family,
You better learn how to hem.
Love is a battle field,
Dreams can come true.
Just have realistic dreams,
That’s all you have to do.
But don’t forget to live for now,
And don’t leave anywhere without a knife,
Because everybody will fight for an easy ride,
On the merry-go-round that we call life.
