Two ways of looking at it

With every life
There is a hardship
With every breath
There will come a time when you feel like you can’t breathe
Like you’re chocking on air
With every moment
There will be another moment where you feel useless
Weak
With every step you take
There will be two steps you must take back
With every smile
There will be a mask of shame
With every moment of peace
There will be a moment of chaos
With every cut
Comes a reason
With every thought
Comes a rationality
With every dream
Comes disappointment
With every kind word
Comes some ounce of a lie
With every brush of skin
Comes a pain so strong it’s numbing
With every first love
Comes a broken heart
Hand in hand
Cause and Effect
Action and Reaction
The cycle of life
With two different sides of the mirror
The optimistic side
The pessimistic side
