It takes a lot of strength To walk through life as it is Not only must you face the people But also fight the deceptions There are those who wear their masks Of kindness over faces of serpents There are those who don't even bother And proceed to stab you on the front Then there's a whole new struggle against yourself All those lyrics of songs you loved keep coming to you You feel your life go mundane Without watching full TV seasons every day It also becomes tiring When you must always hold your tongue A word wrong; a word unneeded about someone Could rob you entirely of your tiny pile of deeds You cannot even scream out; thrash out or destroy things Your anger must be kept in control For an ounce more than deserved Could lead you to Hell for eternity It drives you completely nuts When you must keep enduring with patience It makes you want to ask the skies When will it be over and enough But then again your heart trembles For if it does get over now You are not ready to face your Lord For you haven't been good enough But that's another part of His beauty Among all those things He is Creator; Sustainer; Giver and Taker He judges most on effort So you see this way of life I follow May not be one I chose I may be who I am by chance But if given the choice I'd pick the same way of life again For I am fighting wars within myself And if I fail to win them all I may as well die fighting And He'll treat me like a martyr
