They told us to face our fears
But they never told us that
fear was just a mask and the face hiding beneath it was failure
They told us to chase our dreams
But they never told us
why our dreams were running away from us
They told us that time flies
But they never told us that time has broken wings
They told us to fall inlove
But they never told us that love was a bottomless pit
They told us to take a leap of faith
But they never told us that faith was the fall
They told us to reach for the mountain top
But they never told us that
the peak was nothing but gray skies and fog
They told us to keep moving forward
But they never told us about the road ahead
They told us to live life to the fullest
But they never told us that
life was impossible to be filled
They told us about the goal
They told us about the prize
They told us about the finish line
But they never told us how terrifying the journey is
They told us all of these
But they never told us
about the ugly truth that lies beyond
