Life's Lessons

Surviving to struggle as I struggle to survive
Seems to be the only way I live my
Life,
This world is cold, so keep an open mind when you're on a narrow road.
Often dividing what's real from illusion seems to cause a lot of confusion,
Like hot wax dripping from a candle as it burns.
Touch it once or twice but the third time you learn.
Managing the stress that life has to offer. Benefits me yet makes everyone else softer.
