"can you"

CAN YOU​

Can you tolerate persecution for the choices you have made?
And still hold your head up high and never place a blame?​

Can you conceal the mockery that differences will apply?
And become that bigger person that because of pride, we hide?​

Can you look beyond the curtains that hold true reflections?
The masks people hide behind because they’ve lost direction​

Can your heart still manage through scars that penetrate?
And will that love be as strong as it was yesterday?​

Can you trust in promises that only benefit another?
Using charm as a tool to help deceive his brothers​

Can you turn the other cheek and pretend it doesn’t hurt?
Fumbling in their ignorance is what they really deserve​

Can you open up your mind to a world that’s not the same?
And finally accept the fact that things are going to change?​

Can you see the beauty that is hidden in us all?
Or do you view life behind the cracks in the wall?​

Can you over-come the battles that have only weighed you down?
Or will you become another victim that doesn’t make a sound?​

Can you become the stronger one when life spits in your eye?
Or will you be the weaker on that conforms to the other side?​
