Live

Knowing the future brings nothing but confusion
Every move I make is a step towards the future
Even when things have such a terrible illusion
People, don’t give up! It’ll all get better

Over-thinking everything is fatal
Never think that you’re not capable

Live for today, pray for tomorrow
Intelligence in this, brings hope for better days
Valuing friendship, honesty and integrity
Imagine a world like that today
No longer worried about regrets and hatred
Get yourself together and be the best that you can be

So as long as you’re reading this, believe in this
Many bad things happen, but the good times should conquer all
Ignore the bad, the ugly and the dark
Love one another til the end of days comes and yields
Even if it’s hard, keep smiling

Loneliness may be the norm to you, or to someone
Adore everyone, and give them the chance to laugh
Undo the ugly you may have done and renew yourself
Give all that you can give to other people, even if they don’t accept it
Have faith that you’re doing the right thing. Even if everyone is against you

Like many, you might feel like you’re alone in this big world
Overlooked and never noticed
Value yourself, don’t demean yourself.
Even if it’s the hardest thing to do, just love yourself

Let go of the material things that is making this world go round
In all things in life, being humble is one of the hardest things to do
Victorious, you will be if you just stop and listen
Everything around us has a story to tell.

I am truly glad that you enjoyed it. In case you have not notice, the first letter of each stanza spells out a meaning to my poem, as well.

Your words, their so angelic, I dont even know where to begin.. First every should let go of the material things in life, and just love. Second, we should all live today because tomorrow may never get here. Finally, you were just amazing... I feel VERY privelaged to have read this and I hope we can become good friends... Thanks for letting me read this too.
