When You Realize

When you realize
That the world will always turn on you
Will you then learn to fend for yourself

When you realize
There is no love for you
Will you then give away your life

When you realize
That you will always get hurt
Will you then forget to care

When you realize
Nothing is worth the pain or money
Will you give up?

When you realize 
Your life was never lived
Will you then die with regret

When you realize 
You never gave
Will you give your all till the end?
