Life is a war

Life is a war

A Poem by Lykos

We're not meant to last, life isn't a fairytale,
We're not meant to make it, we're doomed to fail.
Don't believe this is real, it's all a fantasy,
You need to come back to earth, back into reality.

Don't take the leap, you're set up to fall,
No one will lend a hand, you'll be left to crawl.
Wipe them away, no one cares about the tears in your eyes,
You're all alone, no one will be around when you fall or you rise.

You sit and you cry, this feeling is so new,
But you realise then, this is what everyone else has been through.
It suddenly dawns on you, you get those cold eyes,
And in them they see, it's like the darkest of skies.

You feel like giving up, you feel you have no more,
You lost the battle, but life is a long war.
Now it looks like the end, an abrupt final stop,
If you lay down, give up, you'll never get to the top.

You stand up and walk, you might as well keep going,
There is no point to stop, as long as the blood keeps flowing.
You have your path, now it's time to go,
Where you will end up, only God can know.

So right get up and fight...we were never promised a rose garden but each thorn points us in a new direction..if we never try we’ll never know without living we have nothing worth dying for...take the leap in faith...eat the cake...but in moderation...speak your truths...ppl need to love you or leave you...but tell them not to block the traffic on the way out...life is yours to do as you please but if we don’t go on you never know what wonderful things await...all happens for a reason and a season...this too shall pass....wisdom here...🌹
