Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace
Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace,
Like a morning thief leaving shadows in place of unfulfilled dreams,
Movement makes you feel pain in your muscles, but stillness weakens you,
Like a stone statue crumbling under the weight of time, without motion.
Earning money requires time and effort, but lacking it steals your freedom,
Like an invisible chain binding you to worries, leaving you captive in your own life,
Saying no feels uncomfortable, but the constant yes exhausts you,
Like a sea of promises overflowing, drowning you in its waves.
Repairing a bond requires patience, but leaving it unwritten keeps the pages blank,
Like a wordless journal, lost in a library of silence and forgetfulness,
Letting go of the past stings at first, but clinging to it keeps the wound open,
Like a scar that refuses to heal, always reminding you of the pain lived.
Learning something new is frustrating, but stagnation is limiting,
Like a river that doesn't flow, trapped between its banks, without purpose or destination,
Following your dreams is frightening, but the regret of unfulfillment is worse,
Like a shadow that follows you, always whispering about what could have been.
Truth may sting for a moment, but lies leave wounds that do not heal,
Like a needle piercing the skin, leaving behind endless pain,
Caring for your mind requires discipline, but ignoring it leaves you empty inside,
Like a vessel without content, drifting aimlessly on the seas of life.
Deep love makes you vulnerable, but rejecting people leaves you alone,
Like an island slowly sinking, surrounded by silent, cold waters,
Everything in life has a price—some burdens make you stronger,
Others just weigh you down until you cannot breathe.
If life will always be hard, why not carry what helps you grow?
Like a tree reaching for the sky, facing storms, yet blossoming with each year.
