Unacknowledged

you're only young once

this isn't just some repetitive cliche

because it's done in my way

life can just portray

it's best and the worst

qualities, memories

delivering messages through loved ones

when really, the answers lie within

its only a goddamn sin

it's only about to win

nothing but pain, and endurance

hope and failure

life cannot be presumed 

it cannot be expected

life is 

what life is,

it's whats worth fighting for

and who you chose to fight for

who would you rather listen to?

A stranger or your best friend

lie about the truth in the end

or tell the truth without ever pressing send

life is just

this.
