Don’t give up

If you don’t want it, don’t take it

Don’t like a place?

Walk away

But don’t give up

Flowers need the right sunlight

Right water

Right soil

And when they have it?

The most beautiful blooms appear

Find your place and you’ll bloom too

Just don’t quit yet

I know

I know it’s hard

The pain

Hurt

Sadness

Guilt

Embarrasment

You’ve built your house out of them

Time to tear it down

Things are awful

What can you change?

Sometimes the start of good

Can be uncomfortable

Don’t stop and don’t look down

You owe it to yourself

No need to earn happiness

It was always deserved

So keep chasing the sun

And don’t lose hope in yourself
