Life lesson
101
Nobody will hurt you more
Then someone you love
We focus on enemies
While guarding our heart
Yet it’s the closest people
Who can tear it apart
But I say, love extravagant
Let down all your guards
Hold your head high
And embrace all the scars
Love is the answer
Don’t focus on pain
Love, just in spite
Of all of the shame
It’s become far too easy
For us to discard
Forming our factions
And having no regard
Making life into a fiction
The illusions of the author
Letting truth fade away
To the deceit that were offered
We call our self victim
Call others the enemy
Create a facade
That disfigures identity
And as time goes by
Part of you becomes lost
Buried so deep inside
That it just leaves you in want
See, treating life like material
So easy to replace
Walking through relationships
All piling like waste
It just keeps you in pain
As more of you breaks
And the whole world can see it
But they’re conditioned to take
It is time to ponder life
Let our minds be unfurled
And quit letting pain
Be the center of your world
Find value in others
Quit waging these wars
Let the empire cease
So that love can restore
Because all life has purpose
Yet all are disguised
Because we all know the same hurt
And have believed the same lies
So don’t let it be a guide
Time to open your heart
Because love’s the only thing
That will not tear it apart
Life lesson
101
Nothing can save the world
Greater than love
And it starts with an action
Without need of reply
And until you learn to love
You’re never truly alive
