Ballad for the Strong Ones

For every smile that you see,
For every rainbow in the sky,
There will always be something
That will someday make them cry.

For every memory to be had,
For every happy heart,
There is always something sad
That will tear your life apart.

Every time the clock strikes twelve
Another princess dies.
In this fairy land we dwell
The world is full of lies.

There are people here who fight
All of originality.
We must never grant them sight
Of who we're growing up to be.

The parents never tell
What we really need to know,
They're hidden in their shell
That will never help us grow.

In this battle we call life
There are lessons we must learn.
You can mix up black and white,
No matter what, the colors blur.

No one may see the secrets
Of the tears that we choke back,
The emotions that break bets,
Never our minds aligned in track.

Those who break the records
Cannot make history.
The books that have no words
Are no longer mysteries.

In this world the strongest ones are the only to survive.
But when you're strong the hardest thing is to want to stay alive.
