When the world is upside down
Every smile looks like a frown,
Every scowl looks like a grin,
Every loss looks like a win.

When the world is upside down
It is the sky in which you drown,
It is the sea in which you fly,
It is the low that is a high.

When the world is upside down
You will not see me with a frown.
I much prefer this world of mine
Where troubles all appear as fine.

The truth is that at some point, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

Okay, I'll just keep this short: I love this!
