If we stop to think about all
the good things in life someuf
us have a big frown on our face
about to cover up our natural
beauty as they call it. They
say Black is beautiful but
sometimes it can get pretty
ridiculous to all concerned.
To some of the fortunate
people in today’ s world life
seems to just breeze on by
and happily take its own
course in life everyday prob
lems, but what about the so
called problem people 7 W hat
must they do. Live on Wel
fare or just exist In this so
called good society of many
advantages?
Sometimes I just sit in my
Apartment and play lonely
songs on the stero and wonder
how beautiful it is to be living,
eating, and just making it with
my mind completely blank
of all problems, but the thing
is the same problems are s till
there after you enjoy a minute
of relaxation or just sleeping.
L ife must go on no matter
who is fo r you or against you.
The thing in life now is Know
yourself, know what you want
out of life and let nothing come
between you and you attempts
or your eternal state of hap
piness.
If you have the w ill, you’ll
always have a way through life
up and downs.
Just keep your head up high
and be proud of what you are
and not what others wanted
you to be..........................
