The Big Idea

Stop now,
Open your eyes,
Can't you see it?
All the bright light,
It's all around us,
If I can hear you,
See you,
In all this light,
The world can't be all bad,
Right?
Wrong.
Because a million things could
 happen between now and
  tomorrow,
I might sleep and dream happily.
What if I never wake up?
I might smile and laugh.
What if I choke?
I could blink out of habit.
What if I'm blind the next second?
Because the world tries to play
 fair,
But in the end it's not,
Because the world isn't
 always beautiful,
It lies and hides the truth,
It cheats you out of everything
 that matters,
And it steals those we love,
This has never been a secret,
It's not unraveling as I speak,
It's just a challenge that
 we face,
Something we must live through,
And if it's possible at all,
Live your life to make the most
 of your time,
So that if all else fails;
And believe me, it might;
At least you did your best,
To beat the world at it's own game.
