THOSE WHO ARE TRULY STRONG
--
Life is not fair
Life is not just
Life doesn't listen when you ask.
It deals you
What seems like
More than your share of relentless pain.
--
Always, always
It seems to be against you
Building you up
Just to knock you down
Snatching at remains of hope you never had
--
Why, you ask
Why me, why me?
Little do you know
There are people out there
Going through the same agony.
--
Life has turned you
Into a cynical aloof coldness
Retreating from the
Warm gifts of someone
Who might just be able to help.
--
The flame of joy
Of hope, of love
Has been snuffed out
By a cold, unforgiving choice
Not to hope
--
Vindication, in your eyes
Is the only answer
The only way
You can put yourself
At peace
--
We might not understand
But we can see
What you're going through
If only you would trust
The goodwill of those who are free.
--
Life has thrown at some people
None less than
Pain of the same scale as yours
Pain of even greater a scale than yours
And look at who they are.
--
They still hold on
To a sliver of hope
They divide it for good
Though they never had much
They find balance and happiness
--
They know the truth
That letting go
That forgiving
Gives a greater sense of satisfaction
Than revenge ever could.
--
Life is not fair
Life is not just
Life doesn't listen when you ask
It deals you
What seems like
More than your share of relentless pain
--
Yeah, you could give up
You can hate and abhor
You can be cold and impenetrable
You can seek revenge
You can lose hope
--
But wouldn't you rather keep trying
Rather smile and love
Rather be happy and free
Rather forgive
Rather hold on to that sliver of hope?
--
Life is not fair
Life is not just
Life doesn't listen when you ask
But you just
Have to learn
To forgive life and go on
--
Those who are truly strong
Know that you must never give up
Those who are truly strong
Know that you must always forgive
Those who are truly strong
Know that you must keep loving
--
Those who forgive
Those who keep going
Those who keep loving
Those who hold onto hope
Those are the ones who are truly strong.
Hopefully that didn't put you to sleep…or make you choke. Corn is very easy to choke on…!! Lol.
