The branch of learning
On this tree we call life is short or long
Arent we all at least once in our lifetime
A soldier of our own personal struggle
Returned home with leaves of green
We display our triumphs
only
To find we are relocated
In this courtroom
Of prompt condemnation
And served copied advice
Like a fish out of water
We seek the sea of our own redemption
But we were hooked
By those who knew better than us about our evolution
Better than us about our mistakes
Better than us about what we misplaced
Better than us about what we could have produced
Or should have produced
Or given
Or receieved.
The truth is not hard to see
It’s only hard to stand for
Love is the answer written inside the hearts of man
But who can look within anyones world and judge it
We each have many worlds inside
We each are unique inside
We can only see our own
Injured, abused, forgotten, betrayed
Ignored, accused, judge without delay
Trying,believing,hoping and strong
Stuck in a world where we’re always wrong
Or never wrong
And going to say it
The branch of learning
On this tree we call life is short or long
I live by my own advice
And care for the fruits of any goodness
Love is not what we chose it to be
Love has its own definition
Hurt is not what we choose it to be
Hurt has its own definition
Perfection is not what we choose it to be
Perfection has its own definition
Friendship is not what we choose it to be
Friendship has its own definition
Inside each of us is an unknown territory to the world outside us
I do not know my way around the world inside you
I only know my own
And in my own world
The tree is LIFE
all that is not life eventually withers away
(inspirational quote)
Life is about living, inside our own smile, above our own limits, around our own obstacles, outside our own prison before our own judgement
