Believe
By Alisha, age 22, Massachusetts
Don't lose focus
Don't take your eyes off the prize
Just believe
That everything happens for a reason
Believe
That just because two people argue
Doesn't mean they don't love each other
It just makes their relationship that much stronger
Believe
That everyone changes
Friends are going to come
And friends are going to leave
You've just got to take it as it comes
Believe
The friendship between two people
Will always grow
No matter the distance between them
Believe
That no matter what the ups and downs are in life
They will make you a stronger, better person
And they will help you become the person you want to be
Believe
That no matter what happens
Or how we feel
We are responsible for everything we do
Believe
That there will be people
You expect to kick you when you're down
But they're the people
Who are going to help you back to your feet
The world we live in ... is a strange place
Believe
That when you think you can't give anymore
When a friend cries out in need
There's always a part of you
That gives a little more
And finds the strength to help
Believe
That the best of everything
Doesn't come to the happiest of people
They just make the most of what they've got
Just believe
That everything happens for a reason
