The reality of Life

The reality of life,

The beauty of love.

When Life kicks you down,

Love has the power to pull you

Back to reality.

But, when Love kicks you down,

It is the realities of life

That keep you down.

The same realities you want to ignore.

The reality of life, the beauty of love.

The knowledge that somewhere,

Somehow, someone out there loves you.

Somewhere, someone is thinking of you right now.

And that should. Should

Give you the courage to go on.

Even in the face of horrible events

And unreachable goals.

That notion is what keeps me going.

Even when I can’t physically continue,

That thought keeps me strong.
