AND I WANT TO GET IT OFF

I've got a lot on my mind, and I want to get it off.
I have to sound myself off, and
Tell me a thing or two..

"Girl, you are worth it. Worth more than you dream!
You deserve better than what it seems.
You deserve happiness, say good bye to the rain.
You deserve a face- full of smiles again
Give yourself credit, where credit's due
Do something nice, for you and only you.

When does it ever stop?
So what do you expect, to forget who is you?
To say you've never lived,
When your day is through?

Put down the criticism
Just drop that pen.
Pick up your happy book
And locate your poetic zen.
Life's way too short
You'll miss out, if you don't live
You work way too hard
To yourself, you must give."

Now with this said,
I sign out for the night
To rest that weary head
And allow my dreams to take flight.
