When life gets tough.

I HATE when people give up.

When life gets tough
Everyone gives up
They don’t try
They don’t think
They don’t care

I’ve been to hell and back
Had everything taken from me
And thrown into an inextinguishable fire
Memories lost forever
Never to be regained again

Is there a reason people give up so easily?
All I do now is try
Try to be somebody
Try to be something
I want to be somebody

Killing yourself
Running away, hiding
It won’t solve your problems
It will only make them worse
Only you can make it better

Turn around and look in a mirror
Are you happy with what you see?
I’m not; I see the lines of lies
The failure in your eyes
The blank expression of a lost dream

Pick your feet up and go
Smile at the mirror and wave good-bye
This will be the last of your dead days
Lift your head to the sun and smile
You’ve got another chance, now live it.


 R.I.P Dad.

Author's Note

My friends are like giving up and I mean, sure, have your excuses but I just climbed the biggest mountain of my life (yes, I'm young but I'll forever climb it) and it's like they're giving up when they really shouldn't. I seriously hate when others give up. There's never a good enough reason.
