Do You

Do you have many regrets like others do?
Do you get down when you think of all the crap you've been through?
Do you spend all your days living in the past?
Do you spend your time wishing that happy memories would last?

Do you wish you had someone else's life?
Do you feel that you're always in strife?
Do you wish you could create more happy memories?
Do you always hear the voices of your enemies?

Do you spend your time wallowing in self pity?
Feeling like everyone except you is pretty?
Do you spend days at a time crying?
Feel the real person inside dying?

If this is you, then listen to my words
What I'm about to say, to you, may seem absurd
But I want you to shrug your shoulders and smile that smile
Try to remember that not everyone is full of guile.

I want you to stop feeling sorry for yourself
Stop wishing to be someone else
I want you to move forward with your life
Stop focusing on all the strife.

You only get one go at living
Don't spend all of your time sinning
Don't always live in the past
Create more happy memories to last.
