Thoughts

I can see why people drink and smoke

Cuz life's always up and down
And people need something to be consistent 
Cuz life can never just be good 
The devils just too persistent
And more often than not it seems god is rarely there
If god works for the good and the devil the bad
Why is the most constant feeling I'm having sad?
Never hard to believe in evil cuz it's always around 
If it was a tree falling in the forest the whole world would hear a sound
As loud as the news with a breaking story
Can't have one episode free from from being bloody and gory
So where is the good, the righteous
I'm not okay with saying its out of my understanding 
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
Not always a lot of times it holds us back
And we wear the scars on our sleeves
Whether it be god or satan branding 
And the things that make us who we are are ever expanding 
You can twist it either way
Like a water faucet
Careful tho because it matters the way you present it
people think you got it or lost it
If you see things optimistically then you call it your testimony
And it all builds who you are
All the crap you went through 
The deaths you witnessed
The divorces you saw or went through
And the beatings your dad gave your mom too
Or the other side of your life is a story in a book
Only read by you
It's not that everyone's illiterate 
Nor even in considerate
They got their own book 
Writing their own pages
Collecting dust in history's library
This view makes death so scary
Cuz it's all speculation
 And death comes when it wants to no hesitation
End of your own personal life feature presentation 
The complication of life seems like it's on constant escalation
Don't know if your asking the right questions 
And if you are do you even want the answers?
Want to know the truth 
Or are you okay being in the matrix?
Always way easier to take it way back to the basics
Thoughts flowing
But it feels like I'm growing
