learn to accept life as it is

I’m always disappointed. Whenever something doesn’t go the way I want it to, I get stressed out and I need to take time to tell myself to just let go of my illusions and accept life as it is – too bad I never believe myself. I just want to be happy.

I was not born with a thick skin and the negative situations and people and life bother me too easily. I want to learn to just be and accept the good with the bad without getting bent out of shape. I would like to do this without going to boot camp or something radical like that.

all that i need is the air that i breathe
and all that i need is the things i don’t need
and all that really matters is what matters to me…...
and who of you are like me???

If I was to smile and I held out my hand to hold
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I’m to benefit I’ll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me???

It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It’ll get me down and got me tied up
‘Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to

But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life’s falling down onto it’s knees
But I’ll never smile the way, that I did like that day

Everything will be okay
Everything will be ok
It’ll be okay
