The SOVA Project is happy to feature this blog post written by one in our team of fantastic SOVA Ambassadors—these are young people who help create meaningful blog posts from adolescents’ perspectives.
Some people try to explain
The way the world works,
Some people hide away
And don’t embrace their quirks.
But if you live everyday
In constant fear of pain
Then you’re just wasting your stay,
Better to play the game
Life doesn’t have a remote
To pause and play all day
Sometimes we just can’t control
So please try not to stray
If you force change to behave,
You’ll always miss today
You learn you can’t always save
So try your best to say:
If you close your eyes
Every time you’re scared
Life will waste away
Leave you unprepared.
If you hide from pain
Then you won’t feel love
Never run away
You can rise above.
Sometimes life can be too much
Busy days and nights, all the rush
Need a break or a friend to clutch
Then back to earth at a loving touch
If you close your eyes
Every time you’re scared,
Life will waste away
Leave you unprepared.
If you hide from pain
Then you won’t feel love,
Never run away
You can rise above.
