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&#039;re all just looking for attention, to be discovered overnight. We&#039;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!!
