Look back at the time when you were just a child
Remember the days that life was your endless joy
Running until you were on your last breath
Screaming without a care
Your innocence was pure
Your only sadness was the loss of a pet
The years went on it became clear of all the things
you once didn't understand
You fought on through it all
You were drowned with sadness
That slowly consumed you
Found the way to swim up
Now a better swimmer
You fell into darkness
The dark showing your darkest fears
Showing what you can never face
Found the way to light up
To be the brightest
Now the strongest light
Your broken hearted
It left you cold
Never to love again
Your heart was black
Willing to hurt anyone
You found the way to heal
The scars are fading
You became stronger
You learned to play this game of life
Know this
Life is not happiness or sadness not a game of luck
Decide to drown or swim
Conquer fear or let fear consume you
Be alone or love again with a broken heart
You make your heaven and hell.
