Be Grateful

sjw • 1138 followers

We should smile and be thankful for all that we've got
Compared to some people we've got a lot.

The only person stopping you from being you....is YOU!
It's easy to pass the blame but are you to yourself always true.

Life has it's ups and downs, each of us with our own struggles
Sometimes visions become blurred spiralling down into a bit of a muddle.

But hey guess what? that's life! So you can even down in the dumps dwell
Or grab old of your demons and kick them back to hell.

Don't search for sympathy with your sad and glum face
Look at what you've got, glance in the mirror and say "I'M ACE!"

Be You

Always believe in yourself. Cause once you stop. You lose. You'll give up everything you have. And devote your life. To booze. Just never give up right now. Tomorrow or. Yesterday.

Don't Exist...live!

Music is my sustenance the air that I breathe. Dance enchants my heart with the magic that it weaves. Love is the fire in my belly, it's pure and never deceives.

Should

Perfection is what you should see when you look in the mirror,. Pride is what you should feel of your work,. Love is what you should feel from friends and family,. And what you should return,.

Free To Be Me

I want to be the best. At everything I do. I want to stand out from the rest. And look like I'm perfect too. When I fail and fail again. At everything I try. I hate myself from deep within.
