If All Else Fails

If all else fails
Grab a pad of paper
And plenty of useful pens
Express your feelings wholly 
Forget the social trends

If all else fails
Seek the unconditional love
Of family and of friends
The time is not yet to rule out
Making truthful amends

If all else fails
Take a road trip
With your idealistic thoughts
Think of the most precious memory
And all the laughter and love it brought

If all else fails
Search deep with inside yourself
See what you may or may not find
For if all else fails, what else is left?
Than your foolish, selfish mind
