When you think you outshine the others, don't be jealous at the attention they are getting, just be thankful that you can respect their efforts:

a sweet butterfly
tries to visit all flowers
but forgets the sun

Sometimes i need to tell myself what i need to hear in order to keep going:

you think you have failed
but the only failure is
never to have tried

The obvious truth might not be the most obvious to everyone:

In the line of fire
step away to stay alive
or catch a bullet

You can keep being angry and wondering why you have not gotten the opportunities others were given, but it takes character to stop destruction and start building your future:

move towards the light
instead of wondering why
it's not where you are

like they always say, you don't know what you miss until it's gone:

when you want the sun
but you see a star instead
you know what you miss

Choices are hard, which one turns out to be the right one is it the obvious one or the other:

after a grape falls
we can either pick it up
or leave it to rot

it's always good to ridicule yourself, so that you don't grow a bad case of ego:

prolonged ponderings
have permitted me to see
that i waste my time

You think you are who you are right now, but if so, what if you change?

one path to follow
he who leaves himself behind
will find another
