Who knows how life is lived

Is there a formula?

A perfect concoction, proportion?

Who tells you the amount of hard work, luck or contentment needed?

How many ounces of patience?

How do you know when to fight and when to let go?

What is sacrifice and what is sacrilege?

Who dictates what’s a line and when it gets crossed 

When does happiness become selfish 

Do you build a home or rent a house 

Make your own dreams or borrow from someone 

Should you walk the line or end it 

Should you explain or believe that it’s not needed

Pious and pure or more and more? 

If you don’t ask you won’t receive

But dont you deserve?

Who decides how much do you need 

How do you source, how you proceed ?

If not enough, where does it lead

If silence is a language is it understood ?

Is understanding enough ?

Does it need to scream 

How many tears, how many sorrows 

Do they push you over

Or some more time you borrow 

Who teaches life’s lessons, who appoints the teachers 

Can a journey be taught or are they mere preachers ?
