Your Best Shot.

Faith is the belief in something we can not see,
Close to nothing is what I thought I would be.
I’ve proved to people who didn’t believe in me I can change,
My dreams, hopes, and goals have all been rearranged.
More often than not things don’t go the way we think they should,
Too many times things happen we never thought would.
We hear people say life is what you make it,
What happens when what we want doesn’t exactly fit?
Rarely things go the way we have planned,
We just have to work with what we have at hand.
Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies,
We have to be able to see through the storytelling and lies.
Scars.. We all have them to bear,
Inward or outward.. It doesn’t matter where.
Everything happens for a reason that I choose to believe,
We take the good with the bad and move on if we want our goals to be achieved.
Sometimes we have to go against what our parents taught,
It’s refreshing to know all the wrongs in life aren’t our fault.
We should only live for today because it’s all we’ve got,
After all, we only have this one shot.
We shouldn’t focus on yesterday or what may happen tomorrow,
Because yesterday is gone, tomorrow isn’t promised, and today is time God let us borrow.
Don’t ever take anything for granted because it can be gone in the blink of an eye,
Leaving behind unanswered questions like how and why?
Every single day I will strive to be happy no matter how hard it may get,
I know if I am determined I can do it.
Don’t ever let someone tell you you can not,
Get mad, stay driven, and give this life your best shot.
