nothing can ever shut me down.
i am strong.
i can do anything.
you can't hurt me.
no one can.

you can peel everything away off of me.
my skin
my muscles
but then you have the stuff that counts
my thoughts, my soul.
you can't take those from me.

you can't change me.
you can't change anyone, really.
i am me.
no one else. and you cant change that.
i will always be here.
you can't take me away.

some people give up.
nothing against them,
but i won't. i will never give up.
no matter what happens to me.
i
will
never
give
up.

you cant change me.

they expect you to be perfect.
who?

everyone.

but then they
are nowhere close to being anywhere near perfect.

perfection isn't an adjective
its a mindset.

i think everyone should believe
truly believe
that they are perfect

its a hard battle
having cancer.
no, i don't know because of experience.
but i know others who weren't so lucky.

but really,
what does luck have to do with it?
god gives the hardest battles to the strongest people.
to anyone out there, struggling
with anything, really:
i love you.
you can do this.
God has a plan for you.
and i know you will get through this.
be strong.
keep pushing.
its worth it.
i love you.

.
they tell you "just be yourself."
but then they criticize you for who you really are.

they tell you to speak your mind.
but then they tell your that your opinion doesn't matter
and that you are wrong.

society shouldn't control us.
society doesn't even know what society is doing to us.

others
tearing us down, then building us back up.
all to tear us down one last final time.
but the last time, we cant build ourselves back up.
this is how we lose innocent people to suicide.

how does one live with the fact
that they told someone to **** themselves
and they actually do it?
to me, thats like ******.

hating on someone else
doesn't make you any better.
tearing people down won't pull you up.

people have feelings. people care.
its impossible to ignore someone telling you
that you dot deserve to live.

how do you even say that to a person?
how can someone mean that?
nothing is worth a life.
telling someone that stays with them forever.

30 years from now,
they will probably remember someone
calling them *******. or telling them to die.
you think that doesn't stick with someone?
you think they get over it?

they don't.
think about it:
telling someone to die
is literally saying to them
that they don't deserve to grow up
and make a family
and be happy.
you're saying that they don't deserve to breathe.
telling someone to **** themselves
makes them feel like they should.
all
because
of one person
telling them to die.

dont underestimate yourself.
spread kindness.

everyone has that one person
that understands them in every way possible.
where one simple glance
with one eyebrow raised
means 1000 words.

no one else understands what they have.
its not a romantic relationship,
but still more than a best friend.
they're like family.

they bring sunshine to your day
and a smile to your face.
they complete you.

they are the peanut butter to your jelly.
the milk to your coffee.
they are everything you need
to be happy.

but when they leave
you rip yourself apart.

everyone is hiding something from you.
it might not be something bad
but you never know everything
about someone.

for a girl in your geometry class,
she's hiding the fact that she has read every book in the library.

for a boy on your team,
he is beaten at home.

you never know everything.

and although we ignore this fact,
and it is a good idea,
we can't forget about it.
everyone has a reason.
