Life lesson
101
Nobody will hurt you more
Than 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 past 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 ourself victim
Call others the enemy
Create a facade
That disfigures identity
And as time...
