The Dos and Don’ts of Life

They say when the going gets tough,
The tough gets going;
But you have nowhere to go,
So there’s no risk in venturing.
They say it hurts,
When you fall from the top,
But you have reached the bottom,
How much more pain will another fall bring.

So let it flow,
Let it go away,
Lose everything you can,
Just let the pain stay.

They say don’t fall in love,
Love brings immense pain.
But you are carrying a shattered heart
How further can it be broken?
They say don’t trust anybody
All’s fake; you’ll be cheated.
But when you are empty, bankrupt,
What else can be stolen?

So let it flow, one more time
Let it fly away,
Lose everything you can,
Just let your soul stay.
