Is it or Is it Not?

Location

Is it stealing if it's already stolen

Is it breaking if it's already broken

Is it trying when it's already been tried

Are you dying if you feel you've already died

 

Borrowed words to describe someone's pain

Untangled beyond the difficult strain

Revealing all the heartache they left in the past

Not noticing behind the sunshine there's lots of cracks

 

Some people are dealt a fair hand while others are not

Some become stronger after they've been knocked

Some can't handle the challenge or the dismay

Then it leads to questions which adds more pain

 

Is it stealing if it's already stolen

Is it breaking if it's already broken

Is it trying when it's already been tried

Are you dying if you feel you've already died
