West to East


Living life is sometimes hard Not everyone is lucky enough to get the good cards But it’s not what you get that matters in the end It’s how you react It’s whether or not you’re that friend Many situations I’ve encountered I’d change The way I reacted, the way I carried my name I’d speak kinder to those I came across I’d show my smile and not what I’d lost I’d bring positivity to every room Instead of bringing my despair, destruction, and doom I’d cherish the little moments for what they’re worth I’d plant seeds of hope and watch their birth Id change my perception of what others face I’d be sure to realize we’re all running the same race Changing from negative to positive, good not bad I could’ve made moments sweeter for the loved ones I had Changing your outlook and want for peace Could lead to a global change stretching from west to east
