You are a friend, a family member, a neighbor.
You don’t know it, but you are loved.
People out there do care.
Life wasn’t made to be abbreviated,
So don’t make an inerasable mistake.
The laughs have more issues than you think they do.
Some people will actually grow up and mature.
Don’t cry, keep your head up.
Life gets better, I promise.
God put you here to change the world,
But the world is a tough and cruel place.
Think. Use your brain.
Don’t be ignorant of your actions,
Because the end is the end.
Don’t lose your one shot at life.
Talk, think, or act.
But do not end.
Go and make something of yourself.
Who knows what you could become!
