You cannot hide,
It will find you.
It is not meant to be camouflaged,
Rather avoided by those who claim
They are innocent.
No one can be right
No one can be wrong.
It is not what you have done;
It is what you failed to prevent.
Life will hurt
It is meant to;
It comes at different times
It is not meant to knock you down,
But to raise you.
What if the sun decided not to wake up
Because the stars became brighter at night?
We were not intended to hurt,
We were not intended at all.
We were a thought
A speck of dust on the foot of the Master.
Why should we fear the past?
We should not embrace fools or cowards,
But we should stand up for the present.
The now,
The thing we can actual determine.
Every day is different.
Live it,
With a smile.
