A negative Earned

Nikos Tryfonis

Every negative is a positive,
such is life, therefore we live
life has many lessons,
lessons we must learn,
without a negative, we have no balance
everything within an equilibrium,
Nothing to excess.
For every negative,
we live and learn,
for life is a lesson,
and every negative an earn.
