You're Not Alone

This is for the sexists, for the racists. 
This is for the tourists, for the players.
This is for the users, abusers, and belittling bullies. 
This is for those who've lost their morals somewhere along the way. 
This is for those who think it's okay to be rude, 
just because you're in a bad mood.
You know what? Shut up.

This is for those who always speak up. 
This is for those that choose to stay classy. 
This is for the girls that don't try too hard. 
This is for the girls that aren't sluts. 
This is for the lefty's.
Keep it up. 
This is for the "dumb blondes" who aren't dumb,
and aren't afraid to show it. 
This is for those who are always honest, no matter how hard it is.
This is for the people that always care to lend a hand.
This is for the class clowns. 
This is for the rebellious souls.
Keep it up.
This is for those who refuse to be a player.
This is for the nerds, and the cheerleaders.
This is for the hipsters, and the skaters.
This is for the jocks, and the stoners.
This is for those who refuse to be labeled, 
because really, we're all just people.
And besides, labels are for soup cans.
Keep it up.
This is for the free spirits, and the dreamers.
This is for the deep thinkers.
This is for the realists, and the idealists.
This is for those who aren't afraid to love.
This is for those who aren't afraid to stand out.
Keep it up.

This is for those who won't speak up, or don't know how to.
This is for the unappreciated spouses.
This is for the girls who try too hard.
This is for the nice girls, who always seem to wind up with the douchey guys.
This is for the nice guys,
who would make great boyfriends if you just gave them the chance.
You're not alone.
This is for the misunderstood.
This is for the lonely souls.
This is for anyone who's ever lost someone, in any way.
This is for the little kids that just want some attention.
This is for the one kid nobody ever mentions.
You're not alone.
This is for the people who care.
This is for the people who've been taught not to care.
This is for the ones who've had their dreams crushed.
This is for the smart kids, who hide it.
This is for the ones who are afraid to love,
for those who are afraid to stand out.
You're not alone.
This is for the kids with the bi-polar mothers. 
This is for the kids with the abusive fathers.
This is for the kids who have lost, or are losing a parent.
This is for the kids who's parents are divorced.
This is for those who've lost their voice.
You're not alone.

ghandi

i keep forgetting to be myself
i keep remembering that i keep forgetting to exercise
i keep forgetting to try.
i keep forgetting not to try.
i keep forgetting to remember the little things in life.
i keep forgetting to live in the moment.
i keep forgetting all those dumb little things i've always wanted to do.
i keep forgetting my dreams.
i keep forgetting to stay motivated.
i keep forgetting the big question,
when will we own ourselves completely?
i keep forgetting that there's really a point to all of this.
i forgot how great simplicity is.
i forgot how simple it is to be happy.
i keep forgetting that the secret to life, is wanting what you've got.
i keep forgetting that this could be my last day.
but that tonight is not the last time i'll see the light
