it doesn't make sense to let go of something you had for so long but it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's actually nothing there

life is precious
life is not kind
life starts so fast sometimes
that you don’t even see the troubles ahead
wishing there was some way to tell
like a sign
telling you that the days that you thought were hard
are just getting harder
life, death, pain
are all the things that we have to go through
but the one thing that gets us through all the tough time
is god himself
he created each and every one of us in his image
he wanted us to learn
how to live
how to love
how to become one with him
he didn't want us to go through pain
but we chose are destiny
we chose to be in the darkness
but god has forgiven
but the only thing we need to learn still
is how to forgive ourselves
