Open Not Just Your Eyes But Your Soul


To be my own person is a dream that is hard to accomplish in the world we live in.

Having your own voice is a struggle because nowadays there is very few people to trust.

Even family will turn its back like it forgot who you were, what you have done for them.

Hear me. My voice is meant to be heard and ignoring me is unjust.

All around us today is hatred and darkness.

To be happy now is a PRIVILEGE.

Even when we have done nothing but love what we had, never taken anything for granted.

Your voice needs to be heard and not just by the human ear but by the heart.

Our lives have become so corrupted into pleasing people who could care less.

Unable to be recognized because we change ourselves into something we are not.

Give the people a chance, a chance to be heard. A chance to show you who we are.

In this world we live in today, we need happiness and to share it with those who can’t find it.

Value your self worth, remember an original is worth more than the copy.

Every person has earned their happiness. Let the light shine, even for the darkest of souls.
