Not all good are made of nice,
Not all old are made of wise,
Not only children are allowed to cry,
Not only scams are made of lies.

Not all awake have actually woke,
Not all acts are mirror and smoke,
Not all smiles are from sincere,
Not all bad choices came from fear.

What is beautiful need not be rare,
The rules of life aren’t always fair,
Not all heroes are actually bold,
Not all stories will need to be told,

Not all knowledge must be true,
Not all change can bring anew,
Not all pain will make you hate,
Not all love will join with fate.
