Realize


Stand up tall, don't back down. Wipe your eyes, turn around. Look in the mirror, put down the knife. Is this how you want to act for the rest of your life? Right now it's hard, it only gets harder. But if you keep going, you'll keep getting farther. Farther towards your education, farther towards your goals. Know you are loved, it will fill up all the holes. Take action, be smart. Be sweet, not tart. We live in a world where we can't be ourselves. In the eyes of others we look as plain as the shelves. But there are those who stand out, those who take action. Those with a goal, those with a passion. A dream is nothing more than a dream, it's at the bottom of the ladder. It's what you do to make it come true that matters. Take a step back from your life and look up to the sky. Do you want your life to keep passing you by? There are so many opportunities at hand, all you have to do is travel to that land. Wake up and realize what you're missing out on, get up, get out there, now you have won.
