Live life,Dont spend it

I am a little shocked,
and hurt a lot.
Because the friends who mean the world,
have stopped giving life another shot.

I talked to a friend of mine,
whos pretty close to me.
She's tense because she has got a goal,
and failure she cant bear to see.

I asked her to be happy,
to focus,to be confident and strong.
coz that is what will help her,
to finally hit the victory gong.

I asked her to stop fretting,
to stop being nervous and tense.
To face her mistakes,her weaknesses,
and stop using them as a pretence.

She stands alone,I told her,
the test is hers alone.
She has got to get strong,
coz only the best gets the bone.

Another friend of mine,
also threw the towel in.
She was upset,sad,depressed,
and had created a huge din.

I asked her to stop crying,
to stop regretting for what is gone.
I asked her to come up and rise,
to be happy again,to be reborn.

I ask all my friends and loved ones alike,
life is a precious gift.
Sadness,troubles cant see you happy,
with them,you'll always have a rift.

But you yourself are most important,
more than anyone in the world you know.
Just stop listening to others and ask your heart,
you'll know what way to go.

Others will always speak,
they will always say "WRONG YOU ARE".
But its upto you to decide,
you wanna lead or be left behind far.

Its your life,and you should lead,
whatever way you find is fit.
And bear in mind what I always say,
"Live life dont spend it".

Hope I helped someone with my view point.acknowledgements invited
