Believe


Everyone believes,

 

just not in the same things

 

depending on what you’ve seen

 

and what you’ve had to overcome

 

even though it’s hard for some

 

 

 

I believe

 

that everyone is the same

 

everyone goes through some sort of sadness or pain

 

but we all experience it differently

 

We simply can’t give up

 

We have to believe

 

in order to achieve

 

 

 

Even when the sky cried on you

 

you believed

 

 

 

Hardships are hard to overcome

 

sometimes we overcome them

 

sometimes we don’t

 

life is a flower

 

that blooms when watered

 

 

 

I believe

 

that if we try hard enough

 

Eventually

 

things will change

 

you’ll feel like a bird

 

flying free with no worries

 

 

 

They helped you

 

when you were feeling down

 

and said shhh…

 

to calm you down

 

Things will get better

 

if you believe
