The Night Sky

The night sky is shining with life
The ground beneath me thrives with death
The worlds are two dimensions apart
But here they are, under the night sky, tearing at my heart
The night sky, as beautiful as it seems
Holds all my promises, secrets and dreams
The ground I walk on every day, 
Plays victim with my soul, in every single way
I know the difference between life and death
But how come I have to choose such a horrible path
With life there comes death
And with death there comes life
This is harder to understand than whats wrong and what's right
To achieve one you have to have the will to fight
To achieve one you have to surrender and be guided into the light
The night sky is something I’ve always looked up upon
Because the ground I live on is sometimes too hard to breathe on
The stars in the sky are my protectors 
The graves in the yards are my investors
So with this being said, you have to accept one with the other
Because you only have one life, live it because you won’t get another
Live today like it’s your last, and let everything die within your past
If you feel the need to say goodbye
Just stop, sit, and ask yourself why?
Sit under the night sky and learn to love yourself
There’s more to life than what meets the eye
