Restored

Live to learn or learn to live,
This conflict forever has been.
So much comes and goes in a fraction of a lifetime,
Inducing wisdom to make the rest of it worthwhile.
Doubt, hatred, mistrust and pain,
A gossamer of emotion against happiness plain.
A lesson in love is to give up the claim.
The freedom it unleashes is but divine,
Breathing on the open road after walking down the broken line.
