"Dance like no one's watching.Sing like no one's listening.Love like you've never been hurt. Live like its heaven on earth." -Mark Twain


I’ve got scars
And you do to
I’ve got dreams to chase
And I’ve got fears to face
I’ve got promises to keep
I’ve got monsters to slay in my sleep
I’ve got eyes
I’ve told lies
I’ve been hurt and kicked and down
I’ve smiled and I’m no stranger to a frown
I’ve fallen down and laid there
I’ve grown up tall, and cut my hair
I’ve screamed and bled
I’ve been full of life and full of dread
I’ve walked, and run, and crawled
I’ve been stone faced, and like a baby, bawled
But I’m here, I made it at last
It was pretty slow, not at all fast
But I made it and I’m proud
And I’ll still cry and sing and out loud
