This Was Made For Me

The crashing of the waves,

The darkness of the sky,

The faint light from the moon,

The people passing by.

***

It all makes me so happy;

The peace and quiet in the air.

It helps me to remember

To occasionally let down my hair.

***

Not everything in the world is wrong.

Finally, I realize this.

Try to only think of the good things.

The bad things, you won't miss.

***

Those obnoxious kids at school

Are just cool-kid wannabes.

That fight with your best friend?

Let it fly away in the breeze.

***

It's all for silly reasons.

Just believe me, it's true.

Though it may seem veey serious,

Either for me or for you.

***

But, compared to other things

That are happening in the world,

Your fight with that girl last week

Seems like nothing anymore.

***

Forget about your troubles

For they aren't really there.

Just let go of your thoughts,

Let them drift away in the air.

***

Let them drift off like Peter Pan

When he thinks of happy things.

Or the clouds in the sky.

Pretend that they have wings.

***

Whenever you think

Of any of your bad thoughts,

Just try to think of anything happy.

It can do lots.

***

Maybe it's a movie

You watched when you were a child.

It may even be just one person

Who makes your heart go wild.

***

For me, it's peace and quiet

Mixed with a hint of music.

Just to be alone for a while,

Even if it is a little quick.

***

Whatever makes you happy,

Whatever it may be.

Just think about it when you're feeling down.

Say, "That was made just for me."
