I know myself too well
some say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. wether it's missing, stolen, broken, or simply vanished forever, never to be seen again. i never really understood the meaning of this saying. how can you not know what is right in front of you? how could someone be so oblivious to their surroundings or what they love? but throughout my life i've taken things for granted. friends, family, comfort. things people would kill for. i've lost chances i should have taken, and lost close ties with people i've cared for. would i have been so naive as to take granted of something if i knew that it would soon be gone? never. living life with the thought of 'what if' is exhausting. taking chances is what sets people free. making life what you've always wanted it to be instead of sitting in the sidelines, waiting for 'someday' to finally arrive. what will you do if that day finally arises but you're stuck. stuck where you've been your entire life because that's all you've known. does a moment like that come about ever again? some say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. i believe in this. opportunities, friendships, family seem so effortless, something we are given. a right. but it's a privilege. and it's something that can be taken in a blink of an eye. in that half a second it's time for you to decide; will you sit back and let life hand you what it may? or will you fight to make your life worth living?
if there's one thing i believe in; it's you. you're gonna be what saves us all. i wish you could realize it on your own.
Let's open our eyes to the reality of the world that's surrounding us today. Let's take a look at others problems and realize that it's not OK. Because many of us have been blind all these years, not knowing what has occurred. Not everyone is like me and you, some are living in worlds of third. Some have lost their homes and belongings, left to live on the street. No clothing to warm them, no socks upon their feet. Some have had to leave their homes in a hurry, with no time to look back. They lost all the things that were once theirs because of an attack. But the most painful thing they've lost by far, is someone that they love. A mother, a daughter, a brother that's now looking down from above. These people could have been good people, or they could have been bad. But in the end it doesn't really matter, they might have been a sister, a friend, or a dad. In the end we are all loved by someone, no matter who we are. our love for each other is marked forever, lasting like a scar. But once that person is taken away it's something you can't ignore. All the hope in the world is gone because of a ludicrous war. Why must we fight with the ones we differ from, just to prove we are right? Nothing can be settled with words anymore, it all gets down to the fight. What's the point of bombs and bullets when it only leads to pain. Nothing good can possibly come out from these bloodshed's it's only for the insane. why can't we see that what makes us unique is a good thing, dark skinned or pale. Let's drop our weapons of hate and for once let love prevail.
our love is something you've got to hold on to
don't get your hopes up honey, it'll never be true
Whenever I'm alone with you
don't test my patience
You look so strong and brave.
I wished upon a star last night
