Do you appreciate what you have?

Question

Someone once told me to let my mind grow
Understand what goes on, and you will know
How to protect from the pains and aches
Keep on moving, learning from mistakes
Put yourself in check, its time to be mature
To have a future, as the devil tries to lure
There’s always a silver lining in all scum
Lost the battle, but the war can still be won
Appreciate all the things you love and have
And what you desire can get you stabbed
Some things don’t come easy to possess
Take out the heat and the streets into a mess
Count your blessings, try to find meaning
Drug screening, before you start bleeding
Look past the fog and see the bright light
And in the end everything will be alright

You want it, well too bad
You don’t need an Ipad
Two grand on a flat screen
Life is never to be serene

Life’s a token, by others taken and abused
People live with nothing, but you stand mute
They like what they see, then try to take it
On the other side, there are feelings of hatred
Nothings sacred, all little mind are vacated
Living the life of robbery, can they maintain it
Possessions are nothing but a cloud of cloak
Drives to have more, turns your heart into oak
Children deceived that they can also be famous
Deprive of independence, a crime so heinous
Fit into the crowd, try not to be singled out
Fight for fools gold, but take the wrong route
End with horror, deception then into depression
Try to out live, but still remains to be questioned
You never had a limit, consumed of greed and lust
Now working on the streets, forever in a rut

You want it, well too bad
You don’t need an Ipad
Two grand on a flat screen
Life is never to be serene

Not trying to be the killjoy, just make you realize
Some lie, people die, others sit with watery eyes
Taken the pain, do nothing but drown and wallow
Something sweet can turn a precious soul hallow
But there’s a new tomorrow, a chance to start over
Maybe take a break, stand up and try to get sober
Times are rough, do nothing and it only gets worse
Live out each day, or end up in the back of a hearse
They say I’m cliché, but tomorrows another day
Screw what they said, and I know I’ll maintain
Never forget who you are and your life’s purpose
Then no one can ever say that you are worthless

I like the entire thing, but these are some of my favorite parts:

Answer 3

Been out of touch with myself for so long

every turn, right or left, the road is still wrong

finding what matters, or the beginning, I fail

no direction, no map, a meandering trail

leads me in circles - no finish to find

ambitions are useless when lost in ones mind





Great pen - some words to contemplate, certainly.

Answer 4

They say I’m cliché, but tomorrows another day

Screw what they said, and I know I’ll maintain

Never forget who you are and your life’s purpose

Then no one can ever say that you are worthless



This is so freaking true

If you don't live life without maintaining yourself other people will judge you for being untrue to yourself



I love it, good and true.

Answer 5

Awww x



That's so true



Yes, I do appreciate everything I have. I turned 13 years old on Friday, 02/07/10 and the most important thing to me is family. I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world! They do everything for me and without them I wouldn't be here xx



Hope this helps

"And what you desire can get you stabbed

Yowee, Yikes, I have missed your posts.



Slings and arrows can pierce ones heart

some come late, some from our start.

Not to conform, and not to submit

I want to be me until I must quit.



Thank you so much to share this.
