When you wonder through life along time; you can easily lose your identity
Letting your battles and fears mold you away; from a future you cannot see
Its bad enough you had to live through raw events
But then we chose to carry them along; like nothing can fix our permanent dents
Whether it��s something physical that leaves you forever scarred
Or an emotional battle that withers your heart
But we all have to face our own adversities
Our true test is when we still smile; despite the least
You'��re tempted to say give up; you will always be cursed
Life can never get better; it’s been like this since birth
Allow our past to determine how we live today
Now you'��re scared to show your true self; scared you'��ll push another away
Because when things go wrong; we always blame ourselves
You are your biggest enemy; so don'��t be so hard on yourself
Learn from your battles; but also learn to open your heart again
Because in this world; you can even be betrayed; by your very own kin
That's why we should live for today; and be grateful for a lot
Yesterday is already gone; tomorrows not promised; so give today all we got

Crawls up...pushes myself a little harder..
Paste on my smile..Thanks I needed that.

Thanks
