Now Is Your Time

I sit here in question...

Why are those around me in depression?

I'm ready to go.
Look beside me, there state of mind is at a low.

I'm ready to grow.
They dwell on the past.

I've gave my advice with good intensions to inspire, because I am fortunate enough to have this fire; a burning flame.

They let the wind blow away their light, the dark is all they see.
They can't see; no sight into the present or the future.
Insanity at its finest.

Born to be anything in this wide universe.
This is what they choose; to lose.

Surround yourself with positive people.
Be auspicious, optimistic, and bold.
You will never be left in the dust!
