it's true that
the longer you run from your darkness,
the longer it'll follow you.

In a world where there's so much hate,
Don't let it get you bitter
Push forward and stay kind.
Love people, appreciate their words,
Valid their feelings and spread respect.
Don't be passive, search the multiple points of view,
Be open minded and be heard.
Look around, there's beauty everywhere;
Whether it is in a flower, in a mountain,
In a bird or an lion.
There's beauty in a pure smile, a sad smile;
A helping hand, a bitter word.
There's beauty in the darkest and roughest place.
Where there's light, there's love.
Where there's love, there's hope.

As you get older,
you really start to understand more
about why people drink the night away,
smoke their lungs black,
or throw themselves off buildings.
