You’ll start seeking


You’ll start seeking likes and dislikes.

At times you’ll find yourself in a dark room waiting to strike.

You’ll find bonds that was once created.

Will either soon be destroyed or outdated.

 

Break-ups and mishaps can happen to you.

Seek wisdom and guidance from those who care for you too.

Either way, you can go anywhere you please to be.

It is only a matter of what you want to see.

 

You have the choice of saying, “I don’t choose to go there.”

Or you can choose the path that is too hard to bear.

Life can throw you every which way.

Yet you can stand up and still be okay.

 

Everyone is just waiting as the time passes.

You all just want to pass these classes.

With the time drawing near

You can start to hear the cheer

 

You’ll be famous as famous can be.

When you keep your heart set on goals.

With effort, you’ll start to see

Your achievements and all the different roles.

 

You will feel all alone!

But don’t forget the happy moments.

Make sure you don’t take out that loan.

You must stay strong and show your spirits true endowments.

Only then can you stand out from all the false ones.

 

Your shadow may dance on its own.

Your heart may feel heavy at times.

But you are not alone.

Slowly but surely time will pass in this lifetime.

 

Not everyone is your friend.

You will have foes.

There are those who pretend.

Truth is that no one really knows.

 

There are those who like to deceive you.

They dwell in the pleasure of doing so.

Sadly others will never have a clue.

However, you must learn to grow.

Let it go for it is not worth your time.

 

You should not delight in hurting others.

Never repay revenge for revenge on your fellow brothers.

It is more than an evil thing to do.

You may be upset, but there are doors that we cannot walk through.

 

You will learn to grow through what you go through.

As impossible as it seems, even the unthinkable is thinkable.

You must understand and see others views.

For if you have a negative mindset, you will be miserable.

 

You can have a good path or bad path.

You can choose what you please.

If bad, you will feel your own wrath.

If good, you will be at ease.

You can decide your own destination.

 

From right or wrong

You must learn to forgive

In doing so, you will be deemed headstrong.

For better or for worse, your life will carry on and you’ll learn to live.

 

Hurt people hurt people the best advice given.

That is the truth that you must face.

Even when you do wrong, you are forgiven.

You must learn to go at your own pace.

 

Trials and error may occur.

For life can come and go in a blur.

Yet you must stand strong for that’s the best choice

That is why you can state your own voice.

Everything was set in place, for that’s how things were.

 

Whether you become a teacher or head of DSS.

You will do as you may

You are still young so uncover the truth

For you are still naive and you’re still a youth

At least that’s what they all say

 

You are more than what you seem

Let your graceful smile beam.

As a new chapter unfolds

There will be more memories to hold
You can do what you please for you too can dream.
