Words of Encouragement


Don't dare run away From words you don't want to say Life is one giant game, You better learn how to play The moon and stars Only take you so far Go where you wanna go No one ever has to know Aim so high, You barely miss the sky Take one, build one, break it down Watching it all burn to the ground take one look-over Over the shoulder Mirrors are deceptive; Try a new perspective Take one look through the glass; Lenses are reflective If you run and hide, You might miss what's inside So embrace it, caress it; Get beneath your own mind Truth and lies, All the same Just beat them at Their own game Take out your senses Leaving you deaf and blind; Leave your fears behind Don't be sorry, Life is too short to worry So just let it be, Run away and be free.
