I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Thinking about the past
Realizing it all goes by fast
The future is ahead
And love will spread

Everyone talks about how time flies
But really, people are worried about money
We hear their cries and lies
And life doesn’t seem positive anymore

The glamour and fame control us
Both hide the happiness
And people learn to question
Whether or not there will always be loneliness

There comes a time in our lives
Where things get tough
People get mean
When there just isn’t enough

Life is like a chain reaction
When one person does something it will reflect on you
Time is a decaying resource
What you do in the future depends on you

The author's comments:
I feel like people are so concerned with everything happening around them; such as drama or fighting etc. They need to realize that time flies by so thy need to enjoy it.
