This is dedicated to a friend of mine.
I hope you realize who you are first of all, but I hope that you can appreciate it, take it to heart and take a giant step forward….

The games we play are not the same
No one wins but you seem to blame
The ones you play against for who they are
Forget your misconceptions about life so far

Not all are as fortunate as you or I
That is hard to see through all the lies
But one truth surely does exist
People care about you and you will be missed

Strangers that you have never met
Will wish you well and hope for the best
But that’s not because of what you say or do
It’s because that we do appreciate you

A bad hand was dealt to you, there is no doubt
But that does not mean you should live without
The pleasure and happiness that we all desire
Just believe in yourself and that will take you higher

This is what I think about the situation at hand
You are your own worst enemy as you take a stand
On issues that are affecting your life, my dear
I know it is hard but you must let go of your fear

That fear is haunting you, whatever it may be
You are not as inadequate or unfortunate to be
The person you are, you have so much to give
The pursuit of excellence is how we all must live

It is too easy to give in and get stuck in a rut
Too easy to blame others for our misfortunes, but
Love comes from within that much we know is true
Find your own happiness, we are rooting for you.

Unorthodox mabey, but I grow on you.
