live for me
they'd say
not live for yourself
and its a funny thing
when its your life
not theirs
but what you should really hear is
live for the day,
live for the day you get to see the sunrise at the beach,
live for the day you first feel the grass touch your feet in summer,
live for the day you save enough money to finally go to that concert,
live for the day to see your grandparents smile for the last time,
live for the day your old enough to get your own apartment,
live for the little kid who always looks up to you,
live for the day you get the 100% you've been dreaming for,
live for the day you can hold hands
with the person you've always wished for,
live for the moment you wear an outfit that finally feels like you,
live for your hair to be a different color you've wanted,
live for the day your old favorite food feels special again,
live for the people you may meet,
live for the places you might go,
live for the hug you'll get after you do something amazing,
live for the smile in the mirror that will actually be real,
live for the wishes on your birthday candles every year,
live for the flowers in your garden to finally bloom,
live for the beautiful poems youll be able to write,
live for the freedom you'll get once you escape,
live for the people who will miss you and cry when your gone,
live for the day you become happy
live to look back on yourself
and say "it gets better"
"I promise you"
and when people say it gets better
and you never believe them
because you've been waiting and waiting
for it to get ******* better
but it dosent just get better
you have to believe it will get better
if you close your eyes every night
dreaming of the day you'll finally leave the world
and you take each step in life
with a dark storm cloud over your head
it never will
you have to try
and I know trying might be hard
trust me I know
but live for yourself
live for the days ahead of you
that may be beautiful may be painful may tear you apart
but that's life isn't it
and you were here to live it
not waste it
live for the day.
