Don’t take what you have for granted
Or so they say
You may lose it,
Or have it taken away
You could be happy
Or you could be sad
But never take for granted
What you have
You may not care,
Or you love it the most,
Never take it for granted
You don’t have to boast
You may have money
You may have skills
You may not be able to pay the bills
You may have it all,
You may be have it rough,
You may barely have enough,
But through it all,
Never take it for granted,
Or you may suffer a fall.
Think happy thoughts
Maybe you will fly
That’s what we’ve been taught
Since before the years passed by
Now more than ever you are stuck to the ground
Depression, rage, guilt
They tie you down
To this stone wall you’ve built
Now more than ever you want a Neverland
Second star to the right straight on til morn’
But everything seems to be out of your hands
The perfect white dress stained red and torn
It’s out of your hands, but not your head
The merri-go-rounds of negativity spinning
Leave wishing you stayed in bed
Because, maybe doing nothing is winning?
Try this instead, it worked for me
Think happy thoughts
Float above the trees
Don’t let disguised ignorance change who you are
Really, honestly, you’ve made it this far
Your heart is pure, you don’t need this scar
Don’t lose that soul that shines like a star,
Don’t let them change who you were meant to be
They’re after your innocence, can’t you see?
It’s o’ so clear, or is it just me?
That they really mean them when they say “we,”
Believe me when I say that you’re better than them
You’re like a walking miracle but times ten
Don’t listen to the person they wish to condemn
They wan’t to tear you apart and rip away your stem,
Several years down the line, you’ll see their true form
They’ll try to convince you that you’re far from the norm
Please don’t be fooled by the temptations of their storm
They will try to fool you by using lies to inform,
So please, I beg you
None of this is new
People like you are few
You’re everything times two.
The world was never made in one day so don’t try to do everything in one day
We are not octopus or spiders we are just normal teenagers
Sometimes in life everything will get hard and there is so many deadline
to meet but
you gotta roll with the punches and
take break and save it for tomorrow or come back to it
No stress means more rest
Nothing can be done in one day
If so than life would’ve been created in one
But it isn’t so you can’t do it in one day
My poem for day 29!
You will be rejected,
And it will be okay
You will lose friends,
And it will be okay
You will stop liking
Stuff
And it will be okay
Do not forget to
Try new foods
Do not forget to
Sleep every now
And then
Do not forget to
Thank people
When it is due
Do not forget to
Read a book
And, lastly,
Do not forget
That you love to write.
