Real Life
Tears of pain. Enemies at the gate.
Stay in your lane. People love to hate.
Sometimes it can be worth the wait.
Just make sure you travel straight.
Even at your best, It can still go wrong.
Always prepare yourself to stay strong.
Before too long, the wrong will be gone.
If it's worth it, hold on.
If not then move along, that is not where you belong.
Words left unsaid. Will stay in your head.
Focus on what lies ahead. Do the best you can instead.
What's done is done. There's nothing you can do.
Don't let obstacles get the best of you.
Be true, and make sure to follow through.
Stop screwing up, if you know what's best.
Never settle for anything less.
Get all you want out of life, and forget the rest.
If you don't make a change.
Everything will remain the same.
Get rid of the guilt and shame.
Get out of the game!
Life is what you make of it. You get what you give,
Just don't fake it to make it.
