Life+-+Jake+B

Difficult, yet shined in beauty Like a mask of darkness over a world of beauty Full of depression and sorrow; Full of happiness and joy Happy, yet sad. Joyful, yet angry. Too much rage, anger building up It’s a monster within Depression, rage, sorrow, Yet happiness, joy overcoming; defeating the enemy, Ruling with great power

 * Beautiful, sweet life:

Life, full of emotions, Like a creature crying out Full of events, change Changing for the better, yet becoming the worse; Good intentions, bad results Disappointment, madness Yet satisfaction, enjoyment All inside, building up Shouting out, Like a caged animal trying to escape

To be sad To be depressed To be angry The negative overcoming Slowly escaping Soon bursting out worst than ever Or, if you choose To be happy To be joyful To be satisfied Like a mask Only lasting till the rage overcomes Exploding like fire Becoming bigger, stronger Power hungry in its spread Then being contained by the beast of happiness Joy Acceptance Satisfaction Reigning in power, strength To accept the bad, but make the good Or to see the bad, and become it Giving in, joining the power To be strong Or to be weak You choose || ||
