rejection is closing door down a long hallway to get the window at the end...window of opportunity


To the one who thinks they are a waste,

To the one who only lives day by day,

and to the one who is about to break

Because they think they are only hated

Your life may not be perfect, but sure is worth every second

Because what matters is you

This isn’t coming from a bible, or councilor; this is truth

Whether u believe in many, one, or none

There is something or someone Bigger than you

Doing more than you will probably ever

Thinking to yourself “my life is bad”

Wishing you could hold things you've never touched

You don’t see the work and steps it takes to get there

It takes a lot yet some see the result as easy

But when it’s not they blame it on themselves

Some think things should be handed to them,

Other’s say life should be fair

Wanting everyone equal, but equal isn’t always right

And you’re getting depressed because you think you don’t deserve it

I said before, there’s something greater and there always will be

It lingers guiding, helping, or changing your mind, good and bad

Whether it a spirit, conscience, person, or a god

However you are you yet you are only a piece

A piece of a grand puzzle

With billions of more pieces inside

All pieces affecting something

Like your fears, emotions, and reaction

Every piece with a job like the sun Shining physical light

You shine bright in someone else’s life                                        

But for you to shine in them something has to shine in you

You got to believe in something for it to be truth

Everything has a connection

There isn’t really independence; “Freedom” really isn’t free

For example you rely on a governments or gods

Others judge some practices till they die, damn hypocrites

I know they judge you and it may hurt

But others see your talent and they know what its worth

To have someone like you is a treasure, only shown to few

It’s good to be selective, don’t let everyone in

But none of what you do is 100% you

You can do it, through thick and then you’ll always have the one

The one you trust, the one that don’t judge 

And just like you rely on them, Someone relies on what you do

So next time you think “I don’t matter “or “no one needs me”

Think again, just maybe, maybe you make a difference

Yeah you
