I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum.'Cos how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum!


When life doesn't go your way,
when you screw up yet again,
try to hold your head up high,
one day it will be okay.

When you think the truth is dead,
when you feel second best,
ask yourself what happened,
and maybe spend a day in bed.

When you feel like breaking down,
when there's no one there to listen,
remember it's okay to cry,
your friends will shine your crown.

When invisible tears stream,
when a fake smile is put on,
make sure your mask is good,
and never put aside your dreams.

No, it's not my best, but I did write it in a history lesson! It is so dificult to keep a strong look and keep going through when you feel like this. I am lucky and have amazing friends who know me better than i know myself and they really help me through. Writing helps a lot and remember it can't get worse so it can only get better. If it's someone who's hurt you it will hurt them more if you smile at them than if they see you crying. If it's a bad ending it's not the end...
