We all want A Place In This World
I know it All Too Well
When you're Fifteen
everything is Enchanted
At 22,
Everything Has Changed,
Your Eyes are Open
This time you know that the world is Treacherous.
But you have to stay Fearless.
Refuse to be Haunted by your past
You must stay innocent
Never Grow Up,
But rather retain a State of Grace
that's Sweeter Than Fiction.
The choice is ours:
We can dwell and live with always having just another picture to burn,
Or we can head Out of the Woods
and Shake It Off.
And while there will be times that make you think “I should’ve said no,”
the lessons you learn will make you The Lucky One.
Those lessons will give you a Blank Space
that you can use to Begin Again--
without Bad Blood.
Breathe.
Being Breathless is a great way to burn out.
If This Was A Movie,
you'd Jump Then Fall into love.
But love doesn’t work that way. You’ll have many a last kiss.
That's the Sad Beautiful Tragic truth:
When you are in love,
you're Safe and Sound.
But to get to that Wonderland,
a land where Sparks Fly,
,your Love Story will have many twists and turns.
This Love,
This impossible love might seem to evade you forever and always;
And you’ll always think back to the last time.
Your mind will stay stay stay,
and you'll start to wonder if you're Mean--
Whether you know How To Get The Girl or not.
You’ll think there’s nobody as Cold As You.
Change the way you think.
Come Clean to yourself about your shortcomings
and do something Crazier.
Speak Now.
Decide to Stay Beautiful
Decice to make it your Style.
And hope you'll have happiness beyond your Wildest Dreams
Whenever you see Red
remind yourself that there are things Better Than Revenge,
and that you're not Superman--you will have emotions to work through daily.
That's the true nature of the human spirit. And Long Live the human spirit.
