Life

A friend once told me to be strong

But even the strongest steel will rust

So I guess he was wrong

Rocks demolished and crumbled to dust



When I wish I could die

I think why me? Why am I here?

To let my soul fly

I shed a saddened tear



To live I know I must

As I look away from my reflection

I shake my head in disgust

I’m opposite to perfection



A friend once told me to be strong

But even the tallest tree will tumble down

So I guess he was wrong

I’m left with a grim frown



Although writing keeps the mind at peace

My heart stops to beat

I’m lying to myself through my clenched teeth

But my life doesn’t stop for defeat..
