Believe in money or believe in yourself.

Believe in money or believe in yourself.

What makes you strong?
What cast your future so far?
Is it the money in your pockets 
Or the scars on your arms?
Will the pain play a purpose?
Will the pain push you through thickened and darker clouds?
Can your families fortune save your soul?
When the break in reality comes to now...
Who will stand?
Even the one with mud stain on their knees
Because they felt and they fought off every nightmare from Satan's cradle 
Who will stand?
The one given all the opportunity just because God played them a clean and golden card
The one raised by civil parents, the one given a built home and handed an education at the door?
But can I say, just let me say...
Can these people really survive real life ..unraveled, unshaved, dirty, and vicious?
Can you say these people are blind, even naive to reality?
Pain builds.
Pain thickens paper skin and are once paper like butterfly selves. 
Pain makes the swelling in the eyes go down so we can finally see the real living lies 
Pain makes you question, without stupid smiles to a deceiving strange pair of eyes
So...
Who in the heart, in the soul, in the sky, and this world is farther?
...as a person, and in dreams?

Or the scars on your arms?
Will the pain play a purpose?
Will the pain push you through thickened and darker clouds?...your words ring very true to me and I can feel the depth of your words. How true this can be with society. Strength comes in many forms and you have depicted this greatly!
