It has been hard to grow up in the world as it is today,

everyone deals with life in their own special way.

  There are many positive ways to deal with things,

set a few goals and walk through muddy waters to achieve all of your dreams.

  Sit back, relax, and take it one day at a time,

slow down to marvel at the miracles that you may find.

  There are many different positive things one can do,

listed above are just a minimal few.

  There seems to be even more negative ways to deal with things,

set no boundaries and laugh at others who don't achieve their dreams.

  Sit back and drink every minute away- glass by glass,

be jealous of others success and do your best to knock them on their ass.

  Smoke life away; joint by joint; puff by puff,

or turn to some of the more dangerous types of drugs.

  One can pick the wrong way to deal with life,

and can manage to turn around and find the positive answers to end their strife.

  So if you feel that you have had a harder life to deal with,

know that everyone grew up with problems and nobody's life is a perfect fairytale myth.

  The ones that look like they have never lived a harsh day at all,

are just the ones who chose to get up and walk rather than let themselves fall.
