Don't Let Life Pass You By

By beginning_poet

dont let life pass you by.
dont decide from a distant glance.
dont buy into their cheap ass lies.
this might be your one and only chance.
you dont have to do what they want to impress.
i had to learn this the hard way.
dont blame it all on stress.
sooner or later you'll have to pay
no one really cares how miserable you are.
its much to early to let in.
if you set ur mind to it, in life you could go oh so far.
please think before you get sunk in.
once ur in, its so hard to clime out.
not too many r willing to help.
not too many care with or without a doubt.
once ur in they dont let go, with or without a yelp.
