Take Away
It's hard to be young It's hard to be old It's hard to live in a society –so cold… It's hard not to think {I could end this today} It's hard not to blink And wish it all away But life is hard So they say Dare not to be different Or you will pay A suffering price For your diversions A block of ice Instead of compassion Yet if you were to take away This colorful light you reflect each day A river of tears is all that stays For those who love you still remain To drown in that river of loss and pain Taking your life is a selfish play You accomplish nothing For nothing will stay Except the tears of your mother As they fall on your grave Better to fight for what you believe To die in this battle for Love and Meaning
