Wake Up to Reality


Life is too great to be sitting around,

your life is like an open book, it’s your choice what lies on the next page.

So Don’t be afraid to Express yourself to the world

Smile cry laugh scream at the top of your lungs if you have to  

Cause one day seconds minutes and hours will stopped

And you will realize your time can no longer snooze.

So Wake up...

Turn your dreams into reality 

Because let me tell you Your dreams will not live forever, so you should dream that your actions will create something that will last forever. 

 

Life is nothing but a chain reaction of events.

And It’s your choice to live a life of imprisonment or set yourself free. 

You may want to take the easy path down the road, but you should know to have a beginning you have to take the first step 

So don’t stand around wondering, 

Don’t look at birds and wonder why you do not fly, but instead look at birds and wonder how you will fly that high. 

Yes, sometimes Reality may seem like a dream.

And along the way you may develop anxiety... Like what if’s

“what if I'm not prepared?” 

“what if I fail” 

“What if it all goes wrong” 

And my answer is so what….!

Robert Frost once said,

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life. It goes on.” 

So wake up.. 

Cause each heartbeat leads closer to a tragedy and once it stops, so does everything else.
