The Power of Life


crawling; standing falling; failing

all apart of growing up

sleeping; crying;screaming;laughing

all apart how we express ourselves

not always knowing what is to come next

not wanting to be alone 

not wanting to grow up or become old

we stand for what we believe

we fight for what we love 

we do as we are told

thats what at least they told me

but no we dont 

we cower 

we cry 

we hide from what scares us

we give up and turn to drugs to esure us 

what used to be happy and light 

now is darkness 

misery 

depression

anxiety

all of this is part of growing up

failure 

success

is all part of growing up

its okay to fall

but it is not okay to not get up

inspire

motivate 

is all we need inorder to achieve the goals ahead

life is hard 

life is easy 

but it is what we make out of it 

that creates who we want to be
