Take, Use, Throw Away

To Life Life that gives us love, gives us hope, gives us truth Life that grants us strength, grants us power, grants us youlth To life that takes the pain while forcing minds to fade to hay To Life that is the dreadful gift to much rist to throw away To Pain Pain that makes us tear, makes us pray, makes us screach Pain that makes us love just to hate, to try to reach To pain that we will shake, we will fright, we will cry To pain that makes us mar until the day that we die To Death It's death that takes this pain, takes all this sarro, helps us escape But maybe what we're meant to do is find our minds a brand new shape

Powerful writing here. I think you covered all bases. Yes, life is hard, a dreadful gift as you say, great wording. Death will certainly be the final escape but do we really want to ? Excellent writing!
