All that glitters is not gold
At some point we have all been told.
What makes you, what defines you
Is what you choose.

You lose yourself before you find yourself,
You shatter before you see what you’re made up of;
You burn before you shine,
You fall apart before you combine.

You’re ignored until you’re heard,
You’re hurt until you’re healed;
All those secrets within you, you seal
Because you’re not yet ready to feel.

In madness you find sanity,
In rock bottom you find high;
Along blurred lines you find clarity,
You begin to wonder why you try.

You’re sure what you feel,
In insanity you indulge;
You’re not sure what you grieve,
But in fate you believe.

You hit to bounce back,
You fall, you relapse.
You fail to succeed,
You live, you learn;
You try till you die,
You cry, you fight.
