Life hurts.
I have tasted it.
Life hurts.
It has wrecked me.
I dare not hope.
I dare not dream.
Can I hope?
Should I dream?
Life hurts.
Oh! But it is so beautiful.
Life hurts.
It’s a rose amongst the thorns.
I will hope.
I will dream.
I will push past the pain.
I will not give up, despite the adversity.
I will keep on smelling the roses in spite of the painful thorns.
