Life is ridiculous because
With every tear that falls
A flame grows a bit bigger

So don't you feel awful for sobbing?
You're creating
A wildfire
I DON'T

Because life needs the excitement
Yeah, people're gonna die
But with each death
We see life

We get something that happens
And we gain the opposite
Which can be amazing
Like with losing a lisp
And gaining the confidence to speak

Or

It can be damaging
Because we often gain new friends,
So what do we gain?
A bully, an enemy, pain.

But

Despite a sea of faults
We keep going,
Fighting
Surviving.
BUT WHY

Because

We accept these faults
And hold the good dear
But don't let the bad disappear
As they will help us grow.

Life is ridiculous
But we keep fighting
Because under all the pain
We see beauty
I don't know what I just wrote I'm sorry
