&quot;Love is not opening your eyes but opening your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;You see not with your eyes, But with your heart.&quot;<br /> &quot;Think first with your heart not your head.&quot;<br /> &quot;If it has a heart, It is human.&quot;


A single soul
A single life
One Chance
What do I do?
Give up?
No
Move on?
No,
I hold on

What do I do?
Run away?
No
Hide?
No,
I stand my ground

What do I do?
Wait?
No
Nothing?
No,
I fight.

I fight to make things right
I fight to live my life
I fight to be me.

I don’t back down
I don’t lie down
I don’t stand around
I fight.

Why do I fight?
To do what’s right
To make my life
To live my dreams
To reach my goals
I fight.

Every day is a battle
Every day I make a choice
And every day I live on

Have I made bad choices?
Yes.
Do I have to deal with it?
Yes
But I don’t let it get me down
And I don’t let others live my life for me
I only get one
And if I follow
If I do what others say
If I don’t venture on my own
Then I will never be happy
I will never see my dreams come true
I will never make a difference
And most importantly,
I will never be me.
