Some People Try Too Hard

Some people try too Hard
Some people push too much
They will end up by themselves
No one likes to be pressured on

If you hear a "NO", respect
If someone ask you for time, comply
Not everyone is ready
Some people need more time...

There are different kinds of bullies 
But they all hurt likewise
Some hurt with their fists,
Some with words,
Some, making you feel like crap

Don't walk over someone's feelings 
Yours is not the only heart to get hurt
You can't force someone's affection
That's not how it works, so move on!

It doesn't matter if you've good intentions
If in the end you hurt someone
Treat others like you want to be treated
It's the right thing to do, so be done!

What matters most in life
Are not the possessions you built up
Because when you're gone they'll be just things
that will be passed on,
They'll be gone

The friendships you made
The hearts you touched with kindness
They'll be the legacy you'll leave
They'll make you be remembered

Be good, be kind, be strong
Life is not easy, but it's so worth fighting for...
Forgive yourself, share a smile,
Take a deep breath... 

...Everything will be fine...
