Sporatic moments of happiness,
Have gone away.
Now,I know I'm always okay.
No more holding on to hope,
I know it's always there.
Myself is in my own hands,
To cherish and take care.
I search deep within my soul,
To find what i love most.
No more moping around,
Like a long-gone, life-lost ghost.
It's time to pick up the slack,
On this story I call life.
Love, laugh, learn...
Live?
I just might.

We're all just looking for attention, to be discovered overnight. We're all frustrated by the popular ones that claim the limelight before they fall to pieces. So many of us are stuck under the radar--what makes me different? You decide!

this is great!! :) 

however, there's a couple phrases that throw off ur rhythm (esp "moping around"). i would rephrase...but great job!!
