In The End



The beginning was promising, some days were astonishing! I was eager and hopeful I'd live the
life of my dreams, but life isn't always what it
seems. It has a lot of ups and downs and in
be tweens. I took a step back and fell off track.
My ambitions were no longer intact! My
priorities were not there, I acted like I didn't
care, as if life was so unfair but I wasn't aware,
that I would go through way more moments of
despair. I had to hit rock bottom and yes, I did
it more than once. If I were in a classroom, they'd consider me the dunce. I had to lose it all again
and again. I had to find out the hard way I really
didn't have a friend. I had to fake a smile and
somehow pretend, that my life was on the mend.
I finally realized after all of I went through, that
the only statement that is true, is if you don't do
life, life will do you! You have to be happy with
yourself, and what you're doing to succeed,
while not allowing yourself to get swallowed up
by greed. Don't stress on what you have cause
in the end you lose it all, no matter when or how
you fall. In the end what will really matter, is if
your life was filled with laughter, or did you allow
your spirit to get shattered!
