Every person has a place they go to when in trouble,
They call it the safe spot.
It might be sitting in your room in silence,
It the library reading books,
It might be under an umbrella in the arms of your lover.
It’s that place, yes you know where it is.
No it’s not magical,
It won’t protect you completely,
But in that place, light shines on you.
Because in a world of black and white,
All it takes is that little spec of hope
To see the goodness in the world.
That’s a safe place.
Your safe place.

The feeling you get when you ace your test.
The feeling you get when you concur your fears.
The feeling you get when you write poems.
The feeling you get with a tiny compliment.
The feeling you get when you listen to your favorite song.
The feeling you get when you imagine scenarios in your head.
The feeling you get when reading horoscopes.
The feeling you get when you spend time with your friends and family.
The feeling you get when you feel that you have made a difference in someone’s life.

Happiness can come in many forms.
And not many do actually realize how much of a blessing it really is.

Happiness,
the feeling which opens a gateway to hope.
For Hope is what makes you face all these difficulties.
I truly believe positivity affects us.
For its all a matter of perspective.
And in your life you’re going to face many challenges,
But facing it with that positive mindset is what determines our fate.

You know that feeling?
When you’re sitting there,
On your bed in the middle of the night,
Thinking about all your worries.
Well, that’s what I’m feeling right now.
I’m thinking if I should go to England or not?
I’m thinking what will I do in MUN?
I’m thinking about a person.
I’m thinking about school and my midyears.

All these thoughts that are colliding in my head,
All these worries that keep emerging.
Wanting to get rid of them.

It’s that moment in the middle of the night,
When you start to think what’s really going on in your life.

It’s that moment in the middle of the night,
That you start to think,
You start to think about,
Your day,
Your crush,
Your problems,
And all of the simplest and smallest things.

What should You do is the question
Take these worries,
All these worries,
Write them down
Then throw them away
Hoping that one day they will go away.

Don’t be afraid.
To try,
To go talk to your crush,
To be the first one to raise their hand,
To taste new food,
To be who you want to be,
To share your thoughts,
To join new clubs,
To travel around the world,
To fall in love,
To form new friendships,
To fight back,
To start,
To do what you love,
To sing in public,
To share your stories,
To share your poetry,
To talk,
Don’t Be Afraid.
