Get busy living or get busy dying

Sometimes life can be terrifying 

But

  Life isn’t finding shelter in the storm

It’s about learning to dance in the rain

Well said, “The early bird catches the worm”

But also think of its level in the food chain

What if the worm took a dragon’s form?

The early bird would be the one to be slain

Survival for the fittest is all years a norm

Well known to many as no pain no gain

If you want results you have to perform

If you want the rainbow, put up with the rain

If you want to make omelet, crack at least an egg

To have real friends to back you up, take out the bad ones

The ones that hate you; who wish you literally break a leg

It is more about sacrifices, do your best until success comes

If life gives you lemons, make yourself some lemonade

Like angry demons, crack grounds for all you need

In the middle of the desert build your own cascade

To hit the target you need accuracy, strength and speed

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Well said, “Pain is temporary, pride is forever”

The weak die out, as the strong last longer

A plus to strength you also have to be clever

So,

Get busy living or get busy dying
