The Law of the Boomerang

Sometimes I want to take someone else's,
Sometimes they take something away from me,
And was my, and became someone else's:
I pay the law of scales cursing.

Today I'm on a horse and I'm happy to win,
And tomorrow I'm just the dust of other people's roads.
And no one will come to save me,
That's why boomerang law is so strict.

Don't wait for outside help
After all, we are our own rescuers,
There are no deserters in this war,
And this fight is very interesting.

You're taking love away from someone,
Someone took away part of your dream.
You worked on it with sweat,
But there are bridges between you.

Today you are only full of fears,
And tomorrow courage is your mask.
You can't remember all the names,
Who was lulled to sleep by a false fairy tale.

Sometimes the truth gives you freedom,
But in return, it will take everything from you.
And you run ahead of adversity,
Hoping that this is what will save you.
