Hardships.
Just even hearing the word
Automatically has
That negative connotation to it
That almost everyone despises.
Most would wish away
Their current or past hardships,
And want to live in a Utopia,
A perfect life with no pain and suffering.
But let's think about that for a moment.
If everything was perfect
With no pain and suffering,
With no hardships of any kind,
What...

Judge, judge, judge, judge.
It's all people know how to do now,
And they are very good at it.
People just judge you
Before they really get to know you.
How can you really judge someone
Without knowing their life story?
That is the question.
That is the question
Everyone should be asking themselves
Before opening their mouth
And harshly judging others.
I guess it's just...

At day or at night,
Do you ever find yourself
Looking up at the sky,
Wondering, pondering,
Or even remembering?
Sometimes I find myself
Looking up at the sky,
And a lot of times,
Reminiscing a lot of memories,
Both good and bad.
Do you ever think about
Everything you've been through,
Only to find yourself
So depressed
About who and what you lost?
Do you ever want to say...

It's true.
The nice people,
The kind-hearted,
The ones that you talk to
And think how genuine
This person really is,
Are the ones that do
Struggle the most.
On the outside,
They're the kindest person
You've probably ever seen,
But deep down on the inside,
They're the ones that are hurting,
Battling the battles
That is causing them distress.
I consider myself one of these...

It's not the end of the world.
High school usually isn't
Where you meet
Your lifelong friend(s),
Or your lifelong soulmate and love.
I used to think
If I didn't meet
Any girls in high school
That suited me
And would be my girlfriend,
I would end up being alone,
And not finding a girl
Who loves me for who I am,
And wouldn't change
The wonderful person I am.
I used to think...

Do you ever find yourself
Sitting or maybe lying down
In your room,
Or even wandering around your house
Just thinking about someone
Who meant a lot to you?
Sometimes, even though
You did nearly everything
To move on and forget
About this person
Who meant a great deal to you,
You find yourself still a bit sad,
Knowing that person you cared
So deeply for
Is never coming back into your life....

We all have those times in life
Where we feel empty and lonely
Deep down inside even though,
On the outside,
We appear the happiest person
Anyone has ever seen.
We feel the need
To mask that loneliness
Because we're scared
That it'll make us look weak,
That it'll make us look unwanted...
We long for belonging.
Hence, it is why when we find
A group of people or that one person, ...

We always have a choice.
It doesn't matter
What others may say otherwise,
Or if the situation you're in
Is so bad that
You have to drop down
To the levels of
Bitterness and anger.
You can't blame
Other people,
No matter how much
Of an asshole or a jerk
They may seem,
For your changed,
Antisocial and angry behavior.
That was your choice, not theirs,
To do just that....

Letting go.
It is the one thing
Most of us won't do.
It's not that we're not
Capable of letting go.
We'd just rather hold on
To all that sadness,
To all that bitterness,
To all that anger,
And sometimes, let it consume us.
How can we truly enjoy life
If we're never happy?
If we're always missing something?
If we're always angry?
When that person you don't want to see
Walks...

What does it mean
To be a hero?
Look in the mirror,
and you'll know.
The concept,
Or even the word itself
Sounds cheesy
To a handful,
Believing that it's only
Child's play at best.
You don't have to
Fight bad guys,
Or get involved
In criminal affairs
To be considered
A hero.
To some,
Being a hero
Means staying strong
Through all the...
