In the world today
There’s one common thing
Something we should pray
Something we all bring

Feelings, sinning, pain,
This we all complain

Acceptance, attention, needs
This we all plead

Love, heartbreak, hate
This we all relate

Words used, how there said
Things that go on through ones head
Claims that happened to be
Things no one noticed to see

What has this become?
What have you begun?
Do you have the right to judge?
After what you’ve done?

Look away to demands
Same excuse is forgot
Ignore all taught by man
Believed by some or not

We have adopted a trend
Followed its way
Lost a friend
And begged them to stay

Cried for a loved one
Slept the day away
Something should be done
Maybe tomorrow but not today

Cried teardrops for one
Sobbed teardrops for two
Maybe a few more
Change will come into view

Complaining life sucks
Thinking about death
What have you done to deserve better?
Greatest thing in life is every breath

It doesn’t have to be like this
All negative things held onto
Everyone has a purpose to exist
Eventually you’ll learn it’s true

This I tell, so listen up
Hope can be achieved
Open your mind to see
If only you believe

This may be unknown
Think and learn or disagree
Getting through is hard as stone
I ask you listen with a plea

Hopeless days were here
Happiness is not
That can be changed
Work with what you’ve got

Crown this day new
Weather skies black or blue
It’s all up too you
This known by few

Go out, seek cheer
Spread and let it show
Sensitive with a tear
Share what you know

Feel what’s near
Find peace between yourself and mind
Open up to hear
Things you don’t know seek to find

Show your hidden talent
Find your goal to reason
The difference isn’t new
Learn from life’s season

Here’s a secret about life
It’s your choice how to live
The good thing about life is life
It’s yours to expand and give

Stop bringing sorrow
Into new days of tomorrow
Don’t turn worries to stress
Work hard to be a success

Sitting around and crying
Complaining and denying
Feeling sorry for yourself
Get up and start trying

Be open minded
When you don’t want to hear
Ask to be reminded
When you start to not care

Don’t lose all hope of happiness
At the point of this hard time
When feeling helpless know it will pass
I know, I’ve been on my last dime

Have a problem with self-image
Have a problem with appearance
Work towards improving it
Build self-discipline don’t quit

When you’re tired of the fight
Sadly the option, death a thought
When blinded beyond your own sight
Something useful needs to be taught

Use good judgment explore some advice
Not sure of something please think twice
No shame in asking for help if you can’t do it alone
Don’t keep everything a secret let it be shown

Don’t get mad when people don’t know
If you have a problem and refuse to talk
They only know what you let show
holding it in will crumble you too chalk

Let go of pain and throw away your hate
Forgive the past for it made you stronger today
All you experienced give you more to relate
New things you have yet to discover are new everyday
