Who You Are

Some lights never get any brighter
But that doesn’t mean they will ever stop glowing.
Sometimes the woman you love gets away 
But that doesn’t mean you have to stop loving her.
And sometimes the opinions of others gets the better of us,
But don’t let that stop you from being who you are.
Sometimes we get so exhausted from living that it feels like we’ve been running for thousands of miles;
But don’t ever stop running.
Push harder until you got nothing else left to give.
Then run some more.
Just because your life isn’t what you’d thought or hoped it to be doesn’t mean that it is not worth living.
