Keep Living
Teens these days are so depressed ready to die for a better life,
I don’t know why they would choose death over life,
Life is something everyone should be proud of no matter what,
Even if life is hard, sad, and painful,
One should always be grateful for what it means to be alive,
Because someone else out there is struggling even harder than them to survive.
So a relationship doesn’t work out there’s no point in fussing about it,
Because the more you talk about it the more you’ll only hurt yourself,
But never think that it never happened because that’s just running away from the truth.
So you find your lover cheating,
That doesn’t matter it only proves,
That they are lower than you to have stoop so low to betray the feeling you have,
So you get into a fight with your best friend,
Why bother fighting there’s absolutely no point,
Best friends are suppose to forgive and forget,
That’s all apart of being “Best Friends”!
So many problems with too many complaints,
And yet all those problems and complaints often lead to a change in one person,
And when they can’t take it they often end up the same way,
Death is not an excuse to not live,
To have a great death you must live a great life,
There is no teacher,
There is no book,
It is only up to you to decide.
What it is that makes your life worth living,
And if that value is taken away find a new reason,
Otherwise you’ll just be a coward,
Running away from everything that has saved you,
From everything that has been there for you,
From everything that has open up opportunities,
And if you run then you have no ambition at all for life.
So what is it?
What is it that keeps you standing?
What is it that keeps you awake?
What is it that keeps you from running?
What is it that keeps you living?
Once you find it hold onto it,
Never let go,
Keep standing,
Keep waking up,
Keep your place,
Keep Living!
