They say you have

To learn the lesson

Of what life really is

Cold and cruel

Sweet and kind

A desperate mix

To blow your mind

They say you have

To learn the lesson

Of what you can truly be

Nothing more

Than a little ant

Roaming through the street

But the lesson I’ve learned

Isn’t the lesson they teach

It is instead

So much more

In a world that is cruel

You have to be kind

Or it would just be better

To lay down and die

Because the life that i lead

Isn’t filled with the coldness

That they would lead you to believe

Is all there is

The lesson to learn

And the life to live

Is one that is filled

With kind
