TAKE A LOOK
Take a look at what is happening today,
The rich are getting richer,
The poor are getting poorer,
The youth are being misled,
Therefore I have made a decision,
Instead of using my talent to write about infatuation,
I will use it to touch others,
To speak about true love for one another,
For that is my purpose,
What is yours?
Now is now,
Cherish each moment as if it were your last,
For one day it’ll be your last
In a grave you will be cast,
You will return to dust,
Live like you die today,
Plan like you live forever,
If you don’t stand for anything in this room we call society,
You will fall for anything that passes in this room we call society,
Throw away the labels,
The false fables you tell yourself,
Be you,
Be free,
Don’t try to fit in,
Instead be the best you you can be,
So don’t go around telling people about your story,
Most of them don’t care and the rest are just happy it’s not them,
Shhhhhhhhhhh,
Keep quiet,
Let your success make the noise,
Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself,
If you want your dreams to come true then wake up,
For that is it,
Make your mark.
