“I'll go out there and make
my mistakes.
I’ll fall down, get hurt, cry, laugh, love, and get back up.
I’ll stand on the highest mountaintop
and go into the deepest caverns.
I’ll roam across the world,
visit the moon and swim in outer space.
I’ll let my imagination run wild and let my spirit soar.

Why?

Because when my life flashes before my eyes
in those final moments,
I want to have something worthwhile to watch,
with plenty of love and laughter, good times and bad.
I don’t want to regret a thing and I plan not to.

Remember,
it’s not usually the things you do that you regret,
it’s the things you don’t do and leave unsaid.

Laugh out loud.
Cry in the rain.
Love with all your heart and soul.
Get hurt.
Tell the truth.
Go crazy.
But never forget that you only get one shot.
One shot at this day, one shot at this minute.
One shot at this age.
One shot at life.

So make sure your life is one you will enjoy watching
in your final moments.”

There’s so much I can’t say
when I look in your eyes,
I’m worried you’ll reject me, and hurt my foolish pride.
Each day this love grows stronger
but I could never let you know.
There is so much behind my smile, that I could never show.
I’d hold you for a lifetime if you would let me in.
I’d love you like no other,
but you don’t understand...

Every time I see you, you are holding on to her.
The pain is like a knife - cutting deep in my soul,
so I’ll dream of us together,
of just how it could be and all that you are
will remain a silent part of me.
 

I’m the girl who’s never
been given a chance,
the girls who’s always been single,
who’s always had a crush on a guy that didn’t care.
I’m the girl who hides her feelings,
the girl who doesn’t know how to flirt,
who’s always lying when the tears are falling.
I’m the girl who wonders what’s wrong with her,
who’s always thinking about what could have been.
 

That’s the problem with
being strong
People think they can say or do anything to you
and you’re gonna still be standing,
sturdy like a rock.
People think that you’re never going to be sad,
people think that you’re never going need them
to be there for you,
people expect you to be there for them
round the clock even though
you have your own battles to fight.
That’s the problem with being strong...
 

Liking someone
really sucks
because there are those moments when you think
you have a slight chance
but then the next second you realize
how stupid you are and you know
they’d never like you back...
 

You began to cry ,
just crying.
The deep and ugly kind,
the kind you lose yourself in,
though you’re thanking God that no one has to see
how rubbed and blotched your face becomes.
Though some detached part of you also wishes
there was someone there to see you now,
to see and understand just how sad you are at heart.

They don’t see it, and of course,
you would never show them
that side of you.
 

I wish you would just
show up on my doorstep.
Not with anything special,
just you.
And when I’d open the door, you’d smile.
And while I’m trying to figure out what you’re doing here,
you’d tell me how hard the past months have been,
how much you’ve thought about me.
And then you’d take me into your arms .
Then you’d grab my face and kiss me,
and everything would be
perfect .
