10 Years...

-Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

-Close your eyes and try to see your future through your tears, heartbreaks and every other emotional scar that bugs your life

-Try to see a brighter day for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day that you can put down your knife

-Put down the bottle of Jack Daniels or put down the syringe of heroin.

-Put down every damn bad habit you've ever done and try to pick up something good to change your life.

-Change who you want your kids to see

-Daughters hugging daddy's legs during the crashing thunderstorm that rolls through the night

-Or sons who want mommy to hold them a little to tight

-Or the late night lovers who want to hold eachother until they both stop breathing

-Hold eachother through eternity. Through every argument or fight or misunderstanding.

-Hold eachother because you don't wanna give up on the person you love.

-I used to split my wrists because I thought I was different and unworthy of living

-I used to drink countless hours of the night away contemplating what will tomorrow be like

-What bully will want to pick a fight

-What teacher will wanna scream in your face and put you down

-What administrator will say you're worth it with their mouth but their eyes say something different.

-But let me tell you this. It's not worth your life

-A cold blade on a knife isn't worth your life

-Fight every god damn demon the devil has put inside you until you are certain you've defeated them all

-If you're going through a day of hell you mustn't stop

-You have to keep moving towards the light

-Towards your brighter tomorrow

-You can't live in your past and be ashamed of the things you have done

-So put that bull shit behind you and move on

-Life can't change unless you move on

-don't let yourself be your own path of destruction

-You mustn't give up on you now

-Don't stop until you have made yourself proud

-I don't give one fuck about what your parents want you to do

-Or what they want you to be

-Because the future of the world isn't depended on them

-It's depended on people like you and me

-Don't give up on you when you get lost

-Keep your head and be strong

-Be strong for me, be strong for your friends but most of all. Be strong for yourself

-Don't let anybody ruin your mental health

-And if you don't go through pain and suffering and you know someone else that does

-Look them in their eyes, have yours filled with love, and compassion

-And you tell them that you love them and that you're always there

-No matter what fight, no matter what scare

-Let them know that you'll always be there

-You'll always be there if they need a shoulder to cry on because their parents are to damn stupid to know what's going on

-In their life. Don't let them drown in the waters of their own misery

-You never know what kind of greatness that you are fixing to be

-I know my purpose now because I didn't give up on me

-Don't give up on you. Not until you have fought every battle you are brought into

-Because it's a good feeling to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and say

-Wow. This is me. I did it.

-I made it through the day

-I made it through the day

-Pat your self on the back and say thanks to yourself for being strong and keeping your head forward

-So now tell me this.... Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
