...and Yet

…and Yet

 

You live, yet you’ll die

You laugh, yet you still cry

You smile, yet you still hurt

You fight, yet you still lose

 

Nobody said life was easy

Yet you assumed, no one told you actually

What’s life with all smiles and happiness and giddy?

Yet you still complain with hardships along your way

 

Isn’t a butterfly beautiful?

Aren’t birds lovely?

Isn’t it that they have to endure?

Go through the pain and the hardship to live?

 

Look at their wings, look at them up

Look at how they fly, how they soar high above the skies

Is a butterfly not a worm, hated and killed for before?

Is a bird truly a bird, or did it came first as an egg?

 

Did they endure hardship or did they strive to live life?

Did they ask to be beautiful or be noticed perhaps?

Maybe they don’t,

But look how they’ve been wrapped

 

You don’t ask for beauty, it’ll be given to you

For a reason it’s granted and that’s what you should know

You don’t ask for the best, just do what you can

The rest will follow; the best will be at hand

 

Mind not those who hurt you

In fact it makes you strong

Mind not those who try to kill you

For in that you’ll live your life as long

 

You may die and yet, that’s where you learn

You may cry and yet, that’s where you become a man

You may hurt and yet, that’s where you become strong

You may lose and yet, that’s where you learn the best of all

 

Remember it yet, put it in your heart

You’re living in a world, full of hardships and lies

So live your life without tomorrow, as if you will never live again

And then you will know that these hardships are yet worth to your gain
