daddy always told me take life in your stride
life is like an ocean very big and wide
take it as it comes what ever it may be
live it to the full make your life be free.

take it nice and easy live it day by day
take it in your stride its the only way
the very words he told me i always will obey
in my mind for ever they will never go away

To the guy who called me ugly as I passed him in the street.
Thank you.

Thank you for proving my anxieties right,
Thank you for reminding me why I hate going out,
Thank you for pushing me 100m back in my 1000m race to self confidence,
Thank you for putting out the tiny spark I'd gained in my eye,
Thank you for reminding me that everyone lies,
Thank you for making me doubt the mirror all over again,
Thank you for quickly undoing all the hard work I've been putting in,
Thank you for being the only ******* comment I'll remember,

Thank you.
****.

as i tend to rise up above
hands keep pulling me down below
keeping me as their prisoner
with no heart and no soul
