If they call you a fool for falling so deeply
don't
never
apologize for it!
First thank God for making you
with such a profound beautiful deformity.
Then go ahead and love so hard
without a doubt or second guessing thy self
without a care if it is right or wrong
if he/she will stay or not...
just love with all your heart
might and vulnerability.

so much so
that they envy and emulate what you have!
Cheeerrrrsss y'all!

You gotta keep on holding your head up,
and your shoulders high.
You gotta keep on refiling your pride,
raising the bar on your self worth.
You gotta keep on walking tall despite the potholes.
yea!
You gotta keep on making those lemonades,
add a little honey and enjoy the flavor.

You gotta keep on keeping!
