Live Your Life


I once met this girl...

She was a happy child

she always smiled

But as middle school came around

She didn't know how to fit in

She fell into the crowd

She thought she was cool and she started to sin

 

Life started to get hard

You could see her life getting dark

 

She cut everyone out of her life

Everyone who lifted her up high

Showed her the right side...

Wrong from right

Even people who would put their life on the line

She cut them off and said bye

Didn't even think twice

 

Then highschool came...

Everyone she thought was beside her...

Well... they left her

 

She was a piece of dirt

She didn't know her worth

Stooped down to people's level just to get hurt

 

After years of being treated bad

She started to get a little sad

But acted like she was glad

Because she didn't want anyone to know how she feels...

Especially her mom and dad

 

She lost the meaning of life

She just wanted to die 

But how does she tell her parents that when they thought she was the happiest girl alive

So she didn't!

She would wait til night

And once they are all asleep she would cry

Asking God why?!

Just take me now so I don't have to act like I'm alive

I'm in a body that's dead

But I'm still alive

And I wake up everyday like I'm perfectly fine!

 

She joined sports teams

It relieved her

She wrote about her problems

Because she didn't want to be teased

 

She thought this temporary fix was all she needed to end it

But everything came back to haunt her

And it came back stronger than ever

 

People would label her wrongly 

But she wouldn't say anything cause she is scrawny

 

But after situation she finally found herself

She leaves everything in the past 

And is on a great way to success....

She's on a path

 

She does things... 

Because she likes it!

She smiles...

Because she likes it!

She associates with the right people...

Because she likes it!

 

And yes...

This awesome girl I know is me

Life isn't what you expect

It is a test

But shaped me to what I become to be

To be honest...

I'm not the best

It's obvious and everyone could see

But I won't change myself for the rest

I know what I want to be

And how much I want to succeed

 

I will always have my haters and my fakers

But I'll also have those people I consider life savers

Everyone is placed in my life for a reason so I won't say you're time takers

You're just here to shape me or break me

Teach me a lesson or be a blessing

 

As much as I thought I had life figured out

I was in a deep hole...

No doubt

Saw no light...

Just dark clouds

God was speaking to me...

Very loud

But I was going my own route

 

It's great to live life to your fullest

But DON'T LIVE IT TO BE FOOLISH

I thought I was on cloud nine

But I WAS CLOSE TO LOSING MY LIFE

 

So...

Don't mistaken the haters for the livesavers

The lessons from the blessings

And the givers from the sinners

 

I made a mistake

And hurt a lot of people

But thank God they aren't fake

Because they guided me through life and showed me it isn't lethal

They excluded me from the evil

 

So watch out what you do

And live life only for you!
