Don't Let it Get To You!

Don't let it get to you, neither yourself, nor the world,
no matter how low you ever fall,
don't let the kid you once were be
ashamed of you if he would stand in front of you!

Life is not a dream you dreamed about it as a child,
it will step on you and spit right in your face,
if it pushes you in the wrong direction,
there is no right one, all are missed stations!

It's your life and you have to show it your teeth,
don't just drive through it getting a free ride,
take responsibility, deserve respect,
no one has, and will not, bow down to an amateur!

If you fall to your knees, do not lose heart,
raise your head and look at the stars,
become the master of your life, whatever it is,
don't just stand by while life is passing by!
