Lost

Treat each breath like your last
free falling through the sky,
as precious time ticks,
life flashes within the blink of an eye.

A concoction of truth mixed with lies intertwined.
I've seen the good of the world,
I've seen the evil people trap deep inside.
I've seen the hurt and the hope
I've seen foolishness pride
I've seen hate overpower love
I would rather be blind.
