To Put It Bluntly

8/3/18 Life is not just about being world renowned Or wearing a crown Currently lost instead of found In your eyes, I can see the pain, right now Get rid of that frown Gain ground Turn your life around Hold it down Don't be a clown Unless you want to drown Not too late to rebound Make your mom proud She deserves to be feeling up in the clouds If only more people went to the pound for a hound To put it bluntly I'd be lucky To find someone that loves me In a world that can be so cold and ugly Thinking somebody would care Looking around everywhere And never seeing anyone there Torment and despair You got to be aware that life will never be fair It's something that needs to be put into the air Too bad if it's more than you can bear Don't be scared Get prepared To reach beyond the top of the stairs So start earning your share Since everything experiences eventual wear Got yet another itch Which is getting rich It's time to take some risks Use your gifts Keep your wits About you, and watch your six Because life is full of tricks And can be hit and miss Don't call it quits Persist and have your spirit uplift If you really want to get your fix Watch out because you might get more than you wished Before life starts to fade And ending up in a grave Be brave Turn the page Make a change Regardless of it feeling strange Soon enough paths are paved If you gave your all and never caved By: Dalton Ogletree
