Life is why Everything is Awesome.

Money is the root of all evil.
There has never been a more true statement.
Trying to make it this day and age,
without a penny to your name-
you aren't entitled to fame and fortune.
Talent, is just another word in the dictionary.
Skill, is just another jack in the box.
Seventeen years old, and may not be able to further my education.
Not because I don't have the smarts,
money is scarce.

Musical talents are no good in a world where nobody wants to listen;
To my song of freedom from economic depression,
the holding back of my wanting to further my education and better myself.

But still,
Everything is awesome.

How,
at the age of seventeen,
in a world where you're nothing if you don't partake in DRUGS,
ALCOHOL,
or have wealthy family with the fanciest clothes are cars, do I stay positive?

Simple.
I open my eyes.

Life isn't worth living the day that you may no longer live.
True statement.

I realize that the things I aspire and dream of accomplishing my never happen,
but that's no reason for myself to give up.

Times like these come in moments and periods.

I can't stress enough on how much others should never give up.

Money is the root of all evil.
Hope is the balance that gives me the greater good.

In the end,
good always wins.

Keeping the faith and believing in myself is
THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE.

I may never be famous from my music,
that'll will never keep me from playing.

I'll never be the smartest person in the world,
Still I'd love to keep learning.

I may never be the richest man in economic terms,
Yet I'll live the richest life around that I know.

Everything is Awesome because life continues.

We are given opportunities day in and day out to close on. As long as we look at them in a positive light,
do the best we can in our lives,

Everything,
will always,
be awesome.
