Rules Of Me


 Life is so weird and it’s so  funny,

 

The world is going to knock you down and not every day is sunny

 

Be motivated to prove others wrong

 

Don’t hold yourself back and stay strong

 

Fight through the pain and the adversity

 

Happiness will follow like it lives in your city

 

Like they say keep your enemies closer than your friends

 

Don’t follow such words or your inspiration will end

 

Family should hold more meaning than anything

 

Their support and encouragement will give you wings

 

Don’t try to fit in the crowd

 

It is not for other but only making yourself proud

 

Not all the attempts are going to be “swishes”

 

Get ready for a life full of misses.

 

Chase excellence with something your heart agrees with

 

Success will follow by itself right up to your crib.
