It's funny how life is
So many lessons taught
Yet nothing gained
Nothing remembered
Yet so many memories remain

Everything taken for granted
Yet it seems like we always have nothing
No money
No food
No clothes
In the end we are rich

One day we will lose everything
We will forget everything
Then what will we be?
What will happen to us?

What if you always follow instead of lead?
What will happen if you never find out who you are,
Or how you are suppose to be?
What if you never find love?

Is there love?
Or is it just an illusion based upon the pressures of society
Inplanted in our brains from birth?
Does our real self exist?

Does this make any sense?
Or does anything make anysense at all?
We grow a tree,
Fire destroys
We grow again
Only for the same thing to happen
...Society...What we live and breathe without knowing.

We grow up fast
Live our life early
Only to grow old
And wish we took our time to cherish everything

So many things pass us by
We miss them when they are gone
But never realize what we have when we have it
Lost friends, forgotten times, forgotten laughs and smiles

Only thing that remains
Heartache, bad memories that haunt our dying souls
Society has made such pesimists out of us
Or did we do it to ourselves without knowing it?

I leave this place
With the best wisdom ever told

~Learn from yesterday
 Live for today
 Hope for tomorrow~
