SMILE, SING...SWIM
December 24, 2009
BASS KEEPS BEATIN, THE LITES KEEP FLASHIN
I CNT TELL U WAT JUS HAPPENED
TEARS KEEP FALLIN ALL AROUND ME
ALL I HEAR ARE SIRENS SOUNDING
LOOK AROUND BUT NO1S THERE
1ST EMOSTION FELT IS SCARRED
NXT IS CALM THN COMPLETE
ONLY PAIN COMES FRM DEFEAT
SO I SMILE 2 HIDE THE TRUTH
I FIGURE ITS THE BEST FOR YOU
KUS IF U KNEW WAT I KNO
U MITE WNT US 2 LET THIS GO
BUT ITS TOO MUCH TO JUS LEAV
LIK A FALLIN STAR NOT TO B SEEN
YET EVRTHING IS UR CHOICE
TIME 2 LET ME HEAR UR VOICE
SPEAK TO ME N A WAY SO SWEET
THT PUTS US HOW ITS SUPPOSE TO B
N THN AFTA OUR STORY IS TOLD
WE REALIZE WHERE LIFE GOT OLD
N TELL THE WORLD HOW IT SHULD LIV
BY ONES SAYING “SMILE, SING...SWIM”

I really love this. I really like how everyone can relate to this. I hope you keep writing, because this is great. You should check out some of my stuff. I think you would like it.
SING- WHILE YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND CAN LOVE OTHERS AND YOURSELF.
SWIM- AWAY FROM ALL DANGERS AND TO KEEP AFLOAT.
