"some things"

some things live on
long after we do
some things die fast
they go too soon
some things take time
they take too long
some things are right
some things are wrong

some things need faith
hold out a hand
some things need love
just understand
some things look bleak
but we crawl through
some things are lies
some things are true

some things reflect
we see the light
some things neglect
they tend to fight
some things don't move
they stand still
some things incite
some things do kill

i finish what i start
but i see it collapse
some things escape
right under your grasp
