Obstacle as opportunity
Choose your battles wisely
Lame are the sayings of old
When your entire life is put on hold

Things you think important
In the leading of a good life
May differ from the things you thought so
From the beginning of your life

Recognize that people are connected
Much more than is visible
You may need to grow up faster
Than destiny had foretold

At the end of the day, time passes
More or less the same
Though your mind may be racing
Speak through your heart and soul

In the jungle of relations
If a friend shines through
Let them know their importance
In your life anew

Misdirection is an art played by deceivers
Who can team up to suffocate you
You must breathe your way to a stand
Regardless of how they play their hand

The process of finding love
In a situation so extreme
Becomes not a romantic odyssey
Fear not anyone’s apathy

Silenced by misleading rumors
And falsehoods of protection
There may come a time when you
Need to choose isolation

Groups within groups exist all around
Hold on to your basic principles, find them if unfound
Clarity may eventually dawn, upon your muddled mind
Let it not be too late, for life to turn around.
