Feeling Alive


I know that I'm young, but I feel like I'm 35 My knowledge is the only thing thats keeping me alive As many say, age is but only a number So I embrace my time, before my eternal slumber Everyday's a new day to see what God grants me Stay the course for the person He wants me to be I see the world as a place for adventure and beauty A place where I can carve my image and be who I want to be A feeling of euphoria embraces my senses My eyes begin to widen and my muscle tenses Many see the world as a place of death and sadness And there not lying, who can stop this madness? I remember when I was depressed, because the world got to me Whether it was the horrible news on tv, or me dealing with a bully But as I grow, my minds begun to change Now I see things in a completely different range I don't need cars, hoes, and power to be happy I just need God's vision to draw out a map for me Everyday I wake, I'm happy to be alive And I continue to progress, learn, and thrive This is my message to the ones who are feeling down Remember it takes less muscles to smile than too frown Continue to love, laugh, live, and grow And you may be one of the special ones, hey you never know I hope these messages can put a boost in your drive Hey don't mind me; I'm just feeling alive
