It's your life
Thing may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside

(CHORUS)
Don't never let nobody bring you down girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirrow and see who you are
Beautiful U R

In the dark
the paint chips have waited your heart
so deep
can't you see
see the light in the distance
open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
and believe
there's much more to life when your free
thats the key
and in time
you will find all the answers
don't have to loose your pride
hold on to whats inside

CHORUS X 2

Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She stearing at him in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way

CHORUS x2

Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R

Henri Nouwen:
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.

Jennifer York "Duchess of York" Playful - 15 years, 2 months, 15 days ago

broken, lost, confused and alone
unsure of who i am and where to go
what do i do? what becomes of me?
how can i move forward when i can't even move back
friends, family, lovers can't help
if i can't help myself first

lost in a sea of toment and confusion
i try to stay afloat, yet it keeps getting harder
how much longer do i fight to stay
before the tides take me under

the blackness calls and i don't answer
but even the fire doesn't keep me warm now
hurt and still hurting, i've done wrong
betrayed and been betrayed, i've hurt those that matter

stuck in the darkness with no light to find my way
fumbling and falling over the smallest of stones
crawling on a ledge that always gets smaller
clinging to something that isn't quite there
pushing forward and i don't know why

will i ever find the light? do i even deserve to find it?
i've done more wrong and hurt then i should have
some say yes, others will say no
right or wrong, light or dark, i guess only time will truly tell
