Sadness is inevitable Getting over it is incredible With so many emotions coursing through my veins It's hard to believe that I still have a myriad of things to gain No matter how bad it may seem I find relief in the form of a dream I imagine a world with endless possibilities And a life without the pains of reality I envision the future And how there are so many things that have yet to be done So many places that have yet to be seen So many people that I have yet to meet I find comfort in the possibilities of the things that can transpire I marvel at the thought of being someone who can inspire I imagine who I will grow up to be And I realize that the choice is completely up to me The present does not define who I am The decisions that I make drive the future and mold who I become I won't let the darkness consume me I vowed that one day I would break free So why wait for things to change? I'll take everything into my own hands, even if it's a pain Happiness is a state of mind And I'm ready to make it mine So I lift my head up and wipe my tears With determination in my eyes, I fight my fears.
