Life is full of ups and downs like a rollercoaster, with emotions taking control. Every twist and turn notary. Living fearless on a wild ride. We are standing on the edge of life which can be scary. In this world so scary, I chase my dreams like a cherry. In this crazy place, I find escape through music…

In search for what we cannot find and we don’t know where we are going. Trying to find some peace of mind. I miss the days of my heart just beating to the music or dancing like know one is watching. Finding your own rhythm or pace of things without being in a rush where everything seemed to be in sync or fall in place. I miss the feeling of being alive and celebrating.

These struggles pierce the heart. Be honest right from the start. No matter what you face, let go of life’s sorrow and vent. Hold on tight and let go of past scars. Embrace the present, let go of life’s discontent. Life is a mess, but we’ll learn to progress. Embrace the journey, do not stress. Trust in the process. Every setback, a lesson, no regrets, only growth. Let everything unfold.

Time goes by slowly. For every missed opportunity there is regret. Be thankful for the sweetest moments we will never forget.Don’t let them slip away out in the distance where there are chances never taken. People change like seasons where others may be in your life for a reason. Embrace the unknown with persistence. Feeling faded and empty and alone. Cannot see when daylight comes. Hoping to find a place to call my own. Don’t wait until loved ones are gone. Open your eyes and let the whole world know your existence. Turn my frown upside down and change my perspective now. Is the glass half full or empty. I used to be an optimist living life carefree, no boundaries, or limitations to see. Now, being drained from emotional energy I just want to be free. Tired of people who take advantage of me. Cause time goes by thinking about the way you treat me and bring me down. I wish to be someone else I can’t help it. I need the strength to carry on. In this life so real, let go of the pretend and rely on your friends. Always, afraid to let someone down. Find gratitude in every day, it will keep the negativity away. Materialistic values and possessions don’t matter because they don’t define who you are. Cherish every second, make memories that cannot be bought. No need for fame, just grateful for life, without shame.

Life is not a game to play. Please don’t play games with my heart. There are exceptions to the rules. I will not give in to your lies. I will rewrite the standards, and create my own set. Hoping love will not betray.

Life is like a game of chess attacking your opponents. I'll rise above, conquer all, no matter what's every battle fought. I will stand my ground and not be pushed back. No need to conform, I will break free and be resolute.

Not ready to quit. I will not give up, I will not give in. There’s no room for unnecessary worries. I am grateful for life’s blessings. Tired of expectations, because I will never measure up as to how you see me. Your flaws are perfect. You are a narcissist who believes they can’t do wrong. Look in the mirror as to who you have become. Trying to be a manipulator. Accusing me of being delusional. I would never stoop so low as to your level. I will burn your world down with every single second.

Life is full of surprises, every day a sweet cherry. I am thankful for the highs and lows, life’s imperfections make us whole. Every step I take, I am grateful for the journeys toll. I pray to god I will get back on track. Trying to find a way to get back to who I was. How I embraced each day and released my soul. I just want to live life and be happy. Live, Love, Laugh. Don’t let life’s struggles hold you down, keep dancing when the music is over. I'm grateful for this life, in every melody's closure.
