Pass or Fail

Life is one profound test.

 

To see how much you can change without losing friends.

How much heartbreak you can take while still a teenager,

And how far you can be pushed by society before you break.

 

It is a test with a grading scale that is always changing,

                          CONSTANTLY.

Changing without being noted on or recorded.

 

It is to measure how much happiness a body can posses.

How many smiles it takes before your cheeks crumble,

And how much love a mind can withstand before it loses a grip on reality.

 

To find out how many tears you can shed, before your eyes give up on you.

How many times your immune system decides to have your back and fight,

And just how many times you can fall and get back up in one piece.

 

Like a test it is pass or fail.

                     MORE COMPLICATED.

You make it or you don't,

Live and succeed-

Or waste opportunities.

 

There is alwasy a key to the test.

The answers waiting to be copied and compared.

 

Life has many answer keys:

Never stay down long enough that you forget how to stand up.

Never be afraid to be who you want to be.

And always look forward to tomorrow while enjoying today.

 

While you keep living your life positively, 

                      YOU ARE PASSING.
