It's Amazing and Miraculous To Be Alive

I wouldn't trade it...

Even through the pain
Even through the frustration
Even through the disappointments

Even when I'm broke
Even when I'm misunderstood
Even when people don't like me- just because they love me
Even when character gets called into question
Even when the pressure becomes so profuse that options seem limited
And I feel alone...

I wouldn't trade it...

And even if I never make a million dollars
Or become a household name
Even if I died today and nobody knew what I meant...

Because it's all I have.

And even if the Sun doesn't rise anymore
Or global warming bakes the Earth's surface
If I never get laid again
Or I have to eat oodles and noodles the rest of the month

Even if it's one of those days that everything goes wrong
It's alright
Even if everything isn't okay...
It's okay...

I can be okay with being un-okay

Because I'm alive.

And I wouldn't trade it.

And nobody can take that away.

I'm alive

And I will continue to live forever through what I have accomplished up until now...

No matter how small, it's huge- because I was here with you

And I saw you smile

And we laughed together

And we cried together

And we argued

And we challenged each other

And we grew from it

And we live forever

Even if tomorrow doesn't come

Because today we are alive

Just because tomorrow isn't promised

I have to cherish today...

Everyday

And I will fight for freedom

And I will call into question inequality, unfair treatment, things that I don't understand

I won't please everyone

And unfortunately I will get hurt in the process

But starting today I will not complain

I will simply change the world and keep moving forward.

And I won't offer any apologies for this

And I wouldn't trade it...

Because it's all I have.

Think about it and call me back :)
