sometimes men fall

so what
you got hurt
don’t let the bitterness kill the sky above your head
don’t let the darkness of someone else take over you
don’t shake your head
because any kind of pain
means that you’re alive
everyone dies
but try to live before it happens to you
fight strong
and keep falling hard
one day you might even feel the taste of blood in your mouth
and you’ll smile through it
knowing that you fought well
the best you could
