Revival Of Life

I’ve always been a failure 

I’ve always made mistakes..

MISTAKES IN ACTIONS

MISTAKES IN LOVE 

MISTAKES IN LIFE

life (When was the last time I wanted to live life)

All my life I’ve been a failure I’ve been beaten down called nothing but a mere speck of dirt upon the bottom of a specters shoes 

Shoes(They always say to walk a mile in someone’s shoes…and that’s what I’ve done)

As I sit here thinking

pondering 

wandering off into the ether

I realize I have so much to live for I have so much to see in life.

I realize that I don’t need to feel hopeless or lost

When I have light in my life now 

Now

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET UP

NOW IS THE TIME TO LIVE 

(because no matter what life throws my way I will refuse to die)

I will refuse to die emotionally

I will refuse to die mentally

I will refuse to die not being who I am truly

So go ahead throw your words at me

Throw those fists my way

Throw those rocks.

No matter how much I’m pummeled to the ground

I will wear the crown and rule the day..

I am my own highness 

My own highest decree

I will choose what’s right for me.

Me (When was the last time I put myself first)

First cry 

First steps

First dance

First kiss

First man I’ve ever fallen in love with…

He is the reason for my revival of life 

He made me realize that in order to love someone else I must first love myself

Love myself when things get hard

Love my body in ways others don’t

Love my smile and mind because those are simply mine

Love me because there will never be another soul like mine…

Because nothing is stronger in this world then realizing that

Time can heal

Time can save 

Time can cherish 

And time is of the essence

Without time I wouldn’t be who I am today

I wouldn’t want to live life instead of giving it up

I wouldn’t look at the world around me so full 

Of life 

And realize

That Every living thing 

Including me is part of a bigger picture

I wouldn’t even realize the way the wind blows the breeze 

Or the way people smile when they see someone they adore

I would certainly miss all these things I constantly yearned for

Even when I’m sad I can look at others and smile

MY REVIVAL OF LIFE

ISNT TO LIVE FOR OTHERS HAPPINESS 

ITS TO LIVE FOR MY OWN HAPPINESS 

No matter what I choose

I will always choose me..

Above anything else

Because in order for true happiness to happen 

One must start within

So let me ask you this..

Have you found your revival of life..
