Keep Your Head Up

Learn to be brave, child. 

It's what they always told you.

But when layers peel, 

You see them for what they are, 

Just scared kids with no answers.

Don't Listen to the Noise

Let them keep their noise. 

Someone will always tell you 

How you need to live.

But it's nobody's business.

Keep their words out of your mind.

Give It Some Time

Just when I dare thought 

Everything was tumbling down, 

The puzzle pieces 

Finally started to fit, 

And life was put back on track. 

Be Humble and Kind

None of us are dealt 

The same hand in this lifetime. 

Be humble and kind.

Because you will never know 

The struggles of someone's soul.
