Be The Star
Don't fuss too much about what humans think of you,
Don't hurt your ego no more,I dwell much on the unseen
Cause what the eyes can see or feed is no longer my home
When you look at yourself in the mirror and you think,
"Oh God! I'm so pretty!" that is the exact same opinion,
That I, and everyone will have of you,believe me
I think you're beautiful,but you are not,
Unless you have the same opinion of yourself



The bitter truth coupled with the harsh reality is,
There are some people fine to be with,
But not necessary to be yours
Still,there are some things fine to have,
But not necessary to own
The greatest mistake I made was living in the past
Had no presence in the present
Therefore, I couldn't see the future
And living in the past, meant the present was the future
Then literally, I had no future,think about it


My hard skin can tell about the life I have gone through
But still, I have a soft spot for you
Love can be both magic and tragic
When I chose you...............I chose magic
Facebook comments should not be the standard measure,
Of how you think or carry yourself
You don't have to wear a short dress to be seen
You don't have to show them thighs or a cleavage
For you to feel appreciated and loved
Back when we we met you were doing fine
By fine i mean you are like fine wine,ageless
Or a song that sticks to the head,ageless


My socks have holes from the inside,
They look designer from the outside
Maybe that's how we are,
When we let opinions from others rule
Maybe that's how i live without your embrace
I may not have what it takes to make you happy
But I promise, I am what it takes to make you happy
I came to leave a mark on your heart,
I came down to pick you up
I am full of words,hungry for action
I distracted failure for success to concentrate
I can't pay attention to failure,success pays me
So follow my footsteps,distract awful opinions
Don't pay attention to hate,love should pay
You must be a shooting star in the sky
Cause when I see your beauty
All I do is wonder, and I wish.


P.S
Don't reach for the stars,
Be the star.
