The Blank Space of Life

Always look at the brighter side of life

Life’s a blank piece of paper

And ‘they’ are but a blob of black paint on it

They’ll despise you

They’ll pull you down

They’ll boycott you

They will

Because it’s what they are best at

It’s up to you

It has always been up to you

To decide what you want to focus on

To decide what you want to see

To decide what you want to believe.

Most are those who’ll focus on the tiny black dot

The things they couldn’t do

The things they didn’t do

The things they failed at

The things they were mocked at

Most will focus on the darker side

Because it’s natural

Because it’s effortless

Because it’s simple.

Few are those who’ll focus on the vast blank space

The things they can imagine

The things they can pursue

The things that fill them with excitement

The things that makes them feel alive

Only a few will focus on the brighter side

Because

It’s what they learnt to be best at.

Those few are the ones

Who will get up each time they fail

With a broad smile on their face

Who will get stronger each time they are broke

With a confidence like never before

Those few are the ones

Who will inspire generations of human race

Those few are the ones

Who will

Change the world’s face.
