Look up into the night's sky
What do you see?
The dark blue sky above,
But no star can be seen
The contrast of white clouds floating by
The full moon shining bright,
Lighting up the world for the nightlife

A twinkling star pokes out from behind the cloud
What is your wish?
I wish upon this star,
That life could be so beautiful
Like night skies
I wish to be that one tinkling star,
That will set the others in motion
To create a wave that will make this night more beautiful

We see the world through our eyes, but there is more than that
When we look at someone we look into there eyes, but there is more of them
Our eyes are important to our lives, but there are other important things as well
It is with our eyes that we see someone, but there is more beneath the surface

Our eyes see what is on the surface, but there is so much more we cannot see
We need to look with the eyes of our soul
Our eyes on the surface allow us to see what is on the surface,
But the eyes of our soul allow us to see beyond that

We can see into the world with our soul
When we look with our souls into another's eyes we can see there passion, desire, rage, and love
The eyes of our soul see the important things in life
It is when we look with our soul into another soul that we see what lies beneath

It is when we look with the eyes of our soul that we see the true meaning of life
Look with your soul and you will find your way

Apply yourself,
Apply yourself,
Or you’ll sleep on the streets all by yourself.
Don’t ask silly questions; don’t try to scrape by,
Apply yourself this time.

Try yourself,
Try yourself,
No matter the hurdles inside yourself.
Forget the drinking, the hunger, the pain,
Try yourself again.

Push yourself,
Push yourself,
We think the stress won’t **** yourself.
Just go to a college outside of your league,
Through a stifling program to get your degree.
But if you fail, you must be lazy;
Push yourself like crazy.

Stay strong!
Stay strong!
Let go of your thoughts that, “This system is wrong,”
Or, “9 months is too long,”
Or, “Crack makes me King Kong,”
Or, “Should I use needle or stick with the ****?”
Silly, such thoughts, with no motivation,
People today have no innovation.

Help yourself,
Help yourself,
When you’re in the church all by yourself,
Your mom’s in a coffin, your dad’s in a grave,
Your sister and mister both passed away.
And then a man (more hardworking than you),
Comes in and kills you, right in the pew,
Blood seeps out and you sleep evermore…
Listen to us or be one with the poor.

The good suffer,
The evil flourish,
And all that is mortal passes away
This is a quote by Magnus Bane from the book The Infernal Devices

I am brave and caring
I wonder if life will get better
I hear God’s voice in my head telling me what’s right
I see a hopeful future
I want to be accepted
I am brave and caring
I pretend that life’s okay and nothing’s wrong
I feel scared for the future
I touch pieces of my past to see the future
I worry that my life will break again whenever I fix it
I cry when I get stressed and angry
I am brave and caring
I understand that people care about me
I say that life goes on
I dream that one day there will be peace in my life
I try to push through my problems
I hope that I will find something better
I am brave and caring

Perfect
There is no such thing as perfect
The perfect person does not exist
We all have flaws
Embrace your flaws
They are what make us who we are
Stop trying to be perfect
Perfection is unreachable
That is the beauty of the world
No one is perfect,
Therefore, no one is better than another
We all have our faults
Recognize them
They make you an individual
Don’t worry about being perfect
*Just be yourself
This is for everyone who desires to be perfect, you are perfect just the way you are
