Let me guess,
the world’s not fair and it’s against you,
Go on then, give up like you always do,
mope around feeling sorry for yourself,
What’s the matter? Can’t handle the truth?
Would you like me to sugar coat it for you?
Tell you that everything’s going to be fine
and come up with some easy excuse.
Well I’m not going to do that,
cos life’s not easy and you’re not a fool.
You keep acting like the victim all the time
Constantly saying how things aren’t going your way when,
the choice has always been right there in front of you,
You’ve got the tools,
A working brain, a functioning body
So get a grip and stop acting like you haven’t got a clue
Yes, “Life’s not fair”, and things aren’t always going to go your way,
tell me something new.
I hate to break it to ya, but the world isn’t gonna be laid out nicely in front of you.

Every time things don’t go right, are you just going to sit around and wonder why?
stay up late and cry yourself to sleep every night?
Is that really how you want to live your life?
Just become bitter and miserable,
don’t you ever get tired?
Tired of feeling so **** sorry for yourself
when are you going to get it?
the world doesn’t owe you anything, it never has,
so you need to get over this whole negative phase and leave all of that stuff in the past.

The biggest mistake is believing that you don’t have control over your life,
That it’s not a choice, when that couldn’t be further from the truth,
If you want something, you need to chase it,
The only person who can determine your success in life, is you.

You don’t like your job? quit,
Don’t see an opportunity? create one,
Things aren’t going to be handed to you on a plate
you need to work hard for your craft, you need to keep going until you get it done.
What you’re gonna learn is, life is complex,
You’re gonna fail and get rejected time and time again,
If it was easy, everyone would’ve won.

Is it going to be hard? Are you going to struggle?
Absolutely.
But don’t let that stop you from fighting for what could be a fantastic opportunity,
You’re fighting for the chance to be who you really want,
and that freedom right there, is worth any amount of money.
So stop saying you’re going to do something and actually do it.
at the end of the day, something worth having never comes easy.

You can’t keep playing the victim card your whole life.
Cos next thing you know it’ll all pass by in a blink of an eye,
You’re sitting there in your death bed -
wondering why you’ve stopped yourself from doing so many things in life.

There will be times where you’re gonna be stuck in jobs you hate
be around people you don’t like
that’s life.
and I’d be doing you an injustice to tell you otherwise,
it’s not always gonna be sunshine and butterflies,
it’s gonna be hard work, determination and in most cases, sacrifice.
but what you need to do is decide whether you’re gonna fight for what’s right.

Trust me I get it,
The world can at times seem intimidating and scary,
but it can also be incredibly wonderful - if you just let it be.

The definition of what balance means to each of us is different, but there are some universal truths. For instance: each us needs a healthy work and life balance to be truly healthy and happy.
Others, like me, believe that your body, mind, and soul must be in balance to truly be at peace, to live a life of harmony.

Too often, most of us live a life that is far out of balance – putting the things that are not as important first, or letting them tip the scales too far in one direction.

You may see a happy face
You may see a toothy grin
You may see a light in my eyes
But that is all a thin mask

I want to break down
I want to let it out
I want to stop acting like I'm fine
Because I'm NOT

Behind my smile is pain
In my eyes is a tiny spark of hurt
I hide it the best I can
Behind this daily mask

I want to break something
I want to scream for someone to hear
Will I try to bother someone?
No

I am a burden
I was made only to help
Not to stand in the way
It doesn't matter how I feel

Who should care about me?
Why would someone?
I am the one who helps everyone
And deny myself the right

The problem with being selfless...
You feel like you shouldn't be helped
So you sit in your pain
Behind you smile

That fake smile
Everyone seems so gullible
It seems to convince everyone
Except for the very very few

I sometimes want someone to notice
To ask if I'm all right
The problem is...
I would say yes

I don't know why
Because behind my answer...
I am screaming
Screaming for help

I want someone inside my head
Who can tell exactly what I need
How to make me feel better
I will not tell you

Most have to pry
Ask the right questions
Convince me to trust them
That is the only way to take off this mask

Once you have the real me
It is noticeable
Everything stops
I let the pain show

This pain that is so hard to cover up
And yet I manage day to day
I will sometimes try to hint
But no one gets it

I don't know why
Am I the only one that feels this pain?
Pain that makes you shake
Pain that hurts so much you CAN'T cry

I just want to be happy all of the time
God, why can't I be happy?
I'm tired of acting
I'm tired of saying I'm fine

Love yourself.
Even when it feels like nobody else does.
Because I love you.
To me, loving someone means you’d protect them from anything when they need it most.
As a musician once said, “How do you expect respect when you reject to give it to yourself?”
You can’t expect respect and love if you don’t love and respect yourself as well.
You could be an ******* for all I care.
If you love yourself, then I’m happy for you, *******.
If you love yourself, you’ll see brighter things.
If you want to be a stripper, then strip all you want.
If you want to be in music, then pick up an instrument, sing, or produce if you want.
If you love yourself, you’ll be happy with it.
Don’t listen to anyone if they tell you different.
Don’t listen when they say that you’re nothing.
Because you aren’t less than what you really are.
What you are is a person with a chance at life.
This is your moment.
This is your chance.
This is your life.
Everything that belongs to you is obviously yours.
And if that is obvious enough, then shouldn’t your love be yours too.
Especially when you need it.
You don’t need me or anyone else to say it to you.
You just need to say it to yourself.
Your love is what matters to you.
People care about so much, but do they always care about themselves?
I know that it’s sometimes hard.
Because I’ve gone weeks without worrying a bout what happens to me.
But there are nights.
Just that one night.
That night when I realized that maybe I might matter to someone.
And if I’m wrong about someone caring right now, then I know that one day someone will.
Everyone will.
just remember that we all may not get what we really want, but that isn’t always a bad thing.
The only thing that is bad is when someone doesn’t love themselves.
So you have to.
For the sake of everything.
Just love yourself.
You have to.
Nobody will ever love you more than you do.
I promise that you’ll be fine
You will be okay.
Things are tough, but don’t forget that someone will always love you.
And they’ll always love you as long as you love yourself.

The night black,
Just like your soul,
And now because of you I'm no longer whole,

The ocean is blue,
Just like my tears,
I'm done hiding my fears,

It runs through my veins,
The color crimson red,
Without it I would be dead,

A soft orange glow,
Like the setting sun,
In this life I'm almost done,

I contemplate living,
My pointless life is in shades of grey,
and I wonder if I should stay,

I'm all alone,
My world has gone from light to dark,
The songs of angels will guide me home,

The pain I feel inside,
White and pure like snow,
Sometimes I wonder does anyone truly know?
