Dance
as if no one is watching
Love

as if you've never been hurt
Laugh

as if the joke never ends
Sing

as if no one can hear you
Live

as though heaven is on earth


When you were small and just started to dream,
The sky was your limit and you were striving to achieve
But now, you just started throwing that good stuff away
And for what? To sit on your a** all day
You promised mommy you was gonna change the world,
And she believed you because you were her world
But sad enough that promise wasn’t true
Because now, you starting to let the world change you
You ditching and cutting class? And screwing off your grades?
But at the end of the day its only you that’s gonna pay
Please don’t take your life as a joke because no one is going to care when your flat out broke.
You’ll be the lesson they teach to their kids
To these little delinquents trying too hard to fit in
Its sad to say they don’t have the common sense their parents gave them. Do the right things and you’ll be on your way
Don’t be the lesson getting taught
Be The Change!

This is for the kids who were like me at first, not focusing on school and the better things in life, but living for the moment. When the moment is gone all your going to be left with is regret.

I have a dream

That poem really makes people think what we all should in school. Should we do the right thing or should we slack off or dreams

Madness is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little push.

This really speaks out to some people I know of, and you are right. Acting to be cool will get you only so far in life then there is another way to get to the end.
