It doesn’t matter if you’re white or African or black or Asian,
To contribute positively to society, is in the hand of everyman.
Sometimes things are not going to go your way and life is going to get tough,
Night and day, life is going to feel rough.
Occasionally you’re going to want to give up,
To say no to everyone and completely lockup.
All I’m saying is stay strong; all I’m saying is you only live once.
Live your life to the fullest and stay living in the moment.
Life is not one of those things you waste, and in life there’s always room for improvement
All I’m saying is you’ll never be perfect, all I’m saying I’m saying is you’ll not always be the best
But really, don’t we all think about just ourselves?
Of course our family and friends too, but what about everyone else?
Ultimately you’ll have to look back at everything,
Today can change that moment.
Fit in or not, it’s all about being unique.
Until you die, be your own person.
Nothing can stop you, except from you.

I had to write a poem in English, about my philosophy on life, and this is what I came up with.
