You must stand up and do what you want to do. by Simonne Liberty.

Do you ever feel cornered and depressed?

are you always tired and stressed?

do people take you for granted 

and tell you what to do?

are your emotional pains great

and your joys few?

do you bend over backwards

to please every one

denying yourself any fun?

are you sacrificing your time to

always be nice

while others treat you cold as ice?

when was the last time you did something

“just for you?”

when has someone else cared about

what YOU want to do?

you must love yourself first

to give that love away

you can’t allow others to mold you

like clay

break that mold and

set yourself free

do what you want to do

and be who you want to be

you deserve to be happy and

confident

pamper yourself for once

and make yourself content

stop giving all your love away

share it where you want it to stay

you deserve to be treated fair

so don’t be afraid to go there
