-A Better You-

Oh to be different than the way that we are

Pills for the pain, plastic surgery for scars.

Learning life lessons, a failure at a time

Drying the tears, like clothes on a line

You hope and you pray that this time will be different

But life like the weather, is uncontrollable and inconsistent

We fight with all we have through the wind and the rain

We persist and persist, until we overcome the pain

Wounded but still able to face what lies ahead

We bury bad memories, like we bury the dead

Rising out of the ashes, to battle once more

A little more determined, than we’ve ever been before

With eyes set ahead and 2 feet in the dirt

We’ll walk through the fire, even if it hurts

Intent on the dream of a moment in control

Hanging on to our pride and never letting go

We pick up the pieces from the battles we’ve lost

And press on into the next fight, no matter the cost

It’s the human condition that leads us to survive

Though time and time again we stumble, always we rise

For no matter the storm, the rain can’t always fall

And the sun will soon shine a little brighter on us all

It’s the cycle of life built by what we go through

Trial and error to become a better you
