What’s a world without pain?
A planned future that goes up in flames
Stepping on others to win the game
There’s no one but ourselves to blame
Yet we feel no shame
Standards
Rankings
Attitudes higher than a company boss
A grammy
An emmy award
A gold, glimmering trophy
But the soul is the cost
Why do we strive for the things that will fade?
Why do we chase after the false facade?
It makes no sense when the truth presents
Because we came into this life with nothing
And we will leave this world with a new one incoming Happiness should not come at a price People making money by spreading harmful advice The should conquers the want Not the unfinished preferred over the done Now, no one ever said this was the lighter alternative No one should ever say how this is meant to be a breeze It hurts worse It wears faster It has its own crazy course He did not make it simple on all terms But He is fair, loving, and firm Our struggles fill with suffering Our efforts will feel futile He hears us He sees us He teaches, guides, and steers without fuss The society building us up knocks us down We feel like worthless, stupid clowns We need better He gives us the best We want a lot He is more, incomparable to the rest We strive for the impossible He makes it possible The desires we have come with sacrifice Strife Sometimes our life He is the worth at the end Not this world that looks to pretend This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
