Life
Life; it's whether things go the way you want or not.
Don't compare yourself to others.
The older you get, the more fragile
you understand life to be.
One day you'll need a shoulder to lean on,
but it mightn't be there.
Life wasn't meant to be easy.
Shakespeare once said: I cried when I had no shoes,
but I stopped when I saw a man without legs.
Life has taught me to work hard for what I want.
You have to put up with the rain to see the rainbow.
You might get overwhelmed but keep going
because if everything's not okay, then it's not the end.
What others think of you is none of your business.
No matter how awful you think life is,
Wake up every day and be thankful for it!
Take my advice, don't live in the past,
Focus on the future.
You were made to do great things.
Imagine life as a storybook,
There may be many characters,
But remember, you are the author.
