Lucien Smith (a friend of mine )

A writer's blood pumps through your veins.

Potential is the beat of your heart.

Intelligence-insightfulness are the throbs of your brain.

And with your talent, you're off to a great start.

You've had a rough time,

living a rough life.

Worse than most.

But you're getting through it.

And I know I dont know the half of it.

I missed out on those big chapters and so much more.

But despite of this,

Still hear my point.

Life will take you all over the place,

in circles and spirals that seem to go no where.

It may be hard,

but dont let it bring you down.

That spiral will always have a way out.

You just have to look from the right angle.

So what I'm trying to say,

you're wonderful just the way you are.

Don't let a harsh life turn you to the worst.

Stand up tall,

Look life in the eye.

And let it know that there's a silver lining,

and you will survive.
