Life Is What You Make Of It


Life is what you make of it You choose what you do You make your own decisions No one can do things for you It's all on you People surround you everyday Times may be hard But Don't let it suffocate you You do what's best for you And Never let anyone take from you Get yours And Let your world Be based upon joy You say You'll do this And You'll do that Don't be a slacker A proscrastinator Or Nothing like that You go out there And Make a fool of yourself Do a crime And Become a felon No telling what's in store For tomorrow You can't live like that forever How can you live like that? How can you go to sleep at night Knowing you've been doing things that aint right? But It's never to late to turn your life around To do better That's like our very own playground If you intend to be successful Indeed it will happen Never let the world take you under Whatever you think However you feel All turns back on your life And How you live If you do good Good will follow If you do bad Don't look to be glad All you will ever be is sad Looking at a reflection of yourself which makes you mad That's only if you choose not to do better Live life to the fullest And Don't be fooled Life is what you make of it Don't let it make you

Life is truly what you make of it. You only live once, so make the most of it, not the worst.
