Hard Life
I've been sitting here this whole time.
Crying, being pathetic and pessimistic.
"That's just the way it goes. Sometimes life takes years from us" You said.
All of a sudden you've opened up my eyes.
"How could I've been so selfish?"
Noc standing in a crowd.
When I look around all I can see is
An innocent person fighting for every breath.
A family forced to move out of the house, becoming homeless.
Children working hard to gain money and help their parents.
Little kids who don't even know what a TOY is !!!
People who don't remember what it feels like to laugh or smile.
"How could I be so selfish?!"
All this time thinking in poor me :(
Abour how my life is going wrong
I got no right to complain
There are people out there in greater need than me
Yeah it's a hard life!
But I'm OKAY!
I have a home, a family who loves me and I have lots of friends.
Yeah I have a hard life!
If I didn't, I wouldn't be who I am today.
If I didn't how can I even recognize the happy moments and appreciate them?!
Yeah I have a hard life!
But in some ways
Everybody DOES.
