Why does it have to hurt so much?
It tries to take away your every crutch.
Even when you know you're right,
You still seem to lose the constant fight.

Ever notice how things get so off course,
How a straight path suddenly begins to fork.
Before you know it one option becomes two,
As if the entire world spins faster and won’t wait for you.

Why doesn't it slow down, or even stop?
You never get the chance to be at the top.

But wait soon, and you might see,
how similar someone else's life may be.

Things may go, before they came,
and someone, somewhere, might feel your pain.

No one in the world is ever alone,
to you, their faces may never be shown.

Just remember that we are all equal,
and all get cut by this very sharp knife,
that's why we call this painful game life.
