Too Much Negative Thinking


Don't tell me I'm too young:

too young to sing, to write, to inspire.

Too young to feel,

too young to succeed.

Grandma is too old to do Karate.

Cancer victims are too frail to overcome

and God is too Almighty to care.

You wanna know what's too bad?

That most people are too feeble-minded

to ignore you and too tired to try.

You know what I think?

I think too much

'Cause life's too short

to wait too long

and too long to worry about rushing.

I refuse to be too convinced

that it's too early

because then it's too late.
