Tour De Force

Life will throw you out of your comfort zone 
To appraise your worthiness 
Bear it!
Confiscate your treasure to test your patience 
Suffer it!
Send flowers your way you can't bask
To examine your ego
Ignore it!
Bury your voice and fill your eyes with sorrow 
To remind you that freedom is power!
Fight for it!

You'll be left to wander with logic in disguise and ignorance being nice
Find your true self!
The passing hour shorter than the repetition of heartbeats that depart your pectus 
Make use of it!
Your cup fill with emptiness 
While smiles escape leaving your pain unhealed 
Learn from it!
Never make excuses, you owe failure tale to no man
Remember it!
