New blank page
It all starts on this page
A blank page
Anything can happen
And it is all up to you
Now I know that can be quite daunting
I won't sugar-coat it
As this power lies within you
And it rests on your shoulders
But don't let it burden you
Don't let it crush you
Don't let it be the dictator
But you have to lead it
Don't you see
I know that you are hurting
I wish I could help you
I wish I could fix you
To switch you back to the manual settings
But it doesn't work like that
If you want something done - you have to do it yourself
For instance, you are the only person who will ever be able to fully fix yourself
Do see you now
These things have happened
Now, I am not denying that and I am not saying you don't have the right to be sad
But life doesn't work like that
These things have happened
And they have happened for a reason
But your story doesn't have end here
Only if choose to
Only if you want to
But every fresh page is a new blank page
And anything can happen - the world is a stage
Life doesn't work like that
Life doesn't care about that
Of course there have been stories and other pages before this one
But life does happen
Stories and events happen each and every working day
And honestly, it is exhausting
But each and every day is a fresh blank page
So take it
Take this page
And hold it
And hold it close
Until it burdens your hands
Until your eyes start to sting
And your heart follows in its melody
Because the world is a stage
And each and every day is always that new blank page
