I see you

I See You

Hey you, over there, smiling to hide the tears in your eye…

Holding in the pain, making sure nobody sees you cry…

You’re struggling to just barely get by

You won’t speak up or speak out because you’re ashamed and so shy

It’s like you have turned invisible, and you don’t even know why

I see you.

Hey you, young girl over there, the one they tease

It’s to let go of the pain, or so you believe

Some are fresh, some are scars: crisscrossing till they interweave

You feel confused and afraid so you wear long sleeves

But do you think that hides, do you think it deceives?

I see you.

Hey you, young boy over there, the one ashamed of how he feels

Can’t let them know, loving someone yet having to conceal

Walking down the hall holding his hand would be an ordeal

Because your type of love doesn’t fits someone’s ideal

So you’re forced to be quiet and keep your lips sealed.

I see you.

Hey you over there, whoever you are, still feeling blue

Look around you when everything feels all askew

And you feel like you just can’t make it through

I have something to tell you and I promise it’s true

When you think you are alone with nothing to do

I see you.  

New things are coming!

When you look for the positive, you will find it. When you look for the negative, you will find that too. What are you looking for in your life?  I like to tell people that looking for positive things does not mean there won't still be negative things happening around you, it simply means you won't be paying them as much attention. When you take energy from something it loses it's power. When you take your energy from negative situations, negative people, negative thoughts; you are taking away negative power and once you refocus that energy onto more positive things those things begin to shine brighter. You begin to pay more attention to those positive things and you feel happier. Make today the day  move your energy into more positive pursuits and see what happiness comes tomorrow. #staypositive
