How Life Works

Nicolas Simpson 1983 (Illinois)



Its a miracle that one dies,
Another person is born,
Travel in time and spend no money,
When your mad think of something funny,
Praying for everyone who lost someone,
For people, such as myself, is modest for now,
I follow people when they call chow,
For what I know today,
That I should of started a while ago,
Be Personal owned to yourself,
Never be judged by a human instead of a God,
Trust no one besides yourself,
Bouncing from one place doesn't help you,
Hold on for that last moment,
Expand your mind with knowledge,
For you got a chance like everyone,
Don't judge anyone or yourself...
