The Only Solution

Living a lie?
Is it worth it?
Should I pretend
to love school?
to like work?
to be happy?
The only solution
is to follow
your true guide.
Let your heart lead you.

Breaking the chains?
How hard it can be.
To leave behind
all the lies.
all comfort.
all gluttony.
The only solution
is to push on.
The road is hard
but ask:  truth or lies?

Choose the truth.
Live your life.
Choose over sin and
spread the truth
spread the love
spread happiness.
The only solution
is what you found.
Keep it up now,
You're important.
