Own Yourself

Own yourself!
Nagging on someone 
isn't going to cut you a shining star.
Reminiscing on your past will only 
give you the worst of unsweetened-soured 
memories of your life time.

Let it go
Take a step to finding you again.
What was done was gone altogether.

Acquaint yourself with positive thoughts
you'll be surprised how easy it is 
to board up that broken door and open 
a new one.
Walk thru with no fear.
You're  free,
you're in charge of your life.
A whole new you will emerge 
glowing with not, but happiness.

Own it and fly!
Yes baby- you own the wheel
So steer it to your own happiness 
Because when you smile
you're the most beautiful person to be seen.

Own yourself baby... Smile!
