Avery's Stories

Be Yourself

     Did you ever get burnt playing with the fire? I know I did, I did I know. Were you trying to feed the flames getting higher and burning brighter? I did, I know I did. If you haven't, beware. The flames can burn hotter than the summer  of midday. Because I've been there, I've done that. And it hurts so bad. But there's a cure, and it's within you. 

      You just gotta move on. Keep staying strong. Time will help you find peace. Wherever you are. Whomever you may be. Time will erase the fire, the burns, the scorch marks. All the damage done is done. It can't always be fixed. But if you keep going on, staying strong. Nothing can stop you now. We may be not invincible, but we sure can come close to it. 

    Be as strong as you can. Be bold, be brave. Do something that no one else would ever dare to do. Be true to yourself, be true to others. Change the world. There's nothing you can't accomplish, if you put your mind to it.

But beware. When your playing with fire, you're gonna get burned. But once you've healed, (and you will always be healed) nothing will be able to stop you. Be good, be true, love, and just be yourself. You're you. You're beautiful, you're perfect, you're amazing! Nothing and no one can ever change that. Be yourself, be your best. And I can guarantee that if that isn't enough, I don't know what is.

    If they don't know who you are, show them. Teach them. Let them see you, know you, the real you. Everyone has courage. You just have to dig a little deeper. Be a little bolder. but always remember. Nothing can take away who you are.

    If you're playing with fire, be careful. It's a dangerous dance. But once you get there, there is no going back. climb to the top and don't stop. Remember. Fire will burn you. Smoke might suffocate you. But if you be who you really are. A champion, a winner. Then no one can say you're not, because that's the truth. To be you, or to be someone else, that's your choice. But just know. You are wonderful. And that is always enough.
