Something that has always been easy
For someone like me
It is always the hard way
I have to learn how to trust
how to relax
how to really smile

When good things happen
The back of my neck will get tight
I brace myself for the fall
Because being happy never
lasts for too long
The way I treat myself
Nothing is ever good enough

I have always known you can only be better
Your life is made of up moments to try harder
So I would always be searching, forever wandering
Not fully understanding
What I have been looking for
Has always been
Within me
Waiting

Hoping that the minute I stop wanting
With full realization
That everything I have to give
I deserve to give to myself
When my smile lacks
Based off what is missing
It gets easier to forget
How lucky I turned out to be
The entirety of what I need

The universe always listens.

Clear or cloudy days
The love for both is shared

The sun never unnoticed
Keeping me alive
Just a few steps behind

What I have always believed
It makes no difference
Where or who you happen to be
It always comes around to the simple idea

What questions your heart seeks
Will always be answered
In one way or perhaps another
If you take that chance and walk around those corners
You'll see this Earth has all kinds of different worlds.
