it's sad when I see people always putting themselves down
always saying they don't have a life
so they don't try to do anything with friends
well, you're going to regret it when you're older
all the high school football games you were too cool to go to
all the movies you could've gone to see
all the amusement parks you could've gone to
everywhere you could've gone
and now you're 80
looking back on everything and wishing you would've done something
you're not going to be able to go back in time
or replay your life when you get to there
so live while you can
explore while you can
love while you can
do you while you can

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be dead?
I mean of course we have books that tell us about all of this stuff
About heaven and hell
But how do we really know?
How do we know if it's still
And dark
Or bright and loud
We don't know until we go
And until we go we are left to wonder what is beyond life
What is on the other side
Do you ever wonder how long it takes
What it feels like to feel your heart slowly start to become more quiet and more quiet
And suddenly silence
I want to know exactly where I'm going next
Do you ever?

she
I've known she for a while now
She is generous, kind, creative, artistic, original, and many other brilliant things
She has her ways of expressing herself in a way no other can
She is a true and loyal friend that I know I can trust
She is the best thing that has ever happened we to me.
And now that I have to leave her
I'm afraid I will never experience those things again
I love she so much and want to be a part of her life forever
And hopefully I will
No matter what happens

Living young is not like living old.
Living old everyone sees you as a wise man or woman who knows of the past and is full of stories and intelligence
Living young is hard
No one takes you seriously
They all think we're ghetto or stupid or joking all the time
But in reality we aren't all of those things
We're the ones creating the future
We are creating new ways of doing things everyday
Yet people see young people as idiotic and immature
We are creating the new
We are the new wise people who will soon once tell of our time
And we will be seen as intelligent
But as long as we're young we're all stupid, unintelligent, idiotic teenagers who don't know a thing
Right?

Sometimes I feel far away
Off in a daze
No where to be found
Where I can't hear a sound
But when I write
There's just something right
And i want to share
My thoughts that I pick from thin air
But don't know why,
Why I'm shy
And I don't have the confidence
To stand in their presence
To show what I can really do what it takes
I will make mistakes
I will fall down
But to catch me will be the ground
I won't keep falling
I'll keep crawling
Towards my destination
When I get there I'll present my presentation
I will be absolutely
Positively
Me

— The End —
