The Things You Do

Sometimes there is sorrow,
Behind a smile.
    Sometimes the one you love,
, cramps your style.

   You can find love,
Behind hate.
   You should always, 
Pull your weight.

   You can hear the best,
In the dead of silence.
   You can be caught,
Off balance.

   Someone with nothing, will give
Before someone with everything.
   Sometimes nothing is better,
Then just anything.

   It's easier if you walk,
Before you run.
   Never get caught,
 Holding a smoking gun.

   A little hell can lead,
To a lot of heaven.
   You can be forgiving,
Without the confession.

   The darkest hour is,
Before the dawn.
   You can listen to music,
Never hear the song.

   Tears can lead to a
Place of smiles.
   Always be willing to go
The extra miles.

   Most times there is truth
Within a lie.
   Sometimes you will have
To eat, humble pie.

   Accept your flaws, 
They won't be used against you.
   You will have to answer for,
The things you do.
