I'm directing a movie



I had a very wise life coach
My grandpa with his gentle touch
Telling me different stories
About what actually means life glory
"My grandchild", he said
You know when you're really fed?
I looked at him carefully
As at a wizard on TV.
It's not about money
It's about not being lonely
You know how to get it?
By being able to sit
In front of your reflection in the mirror
And not seeing in it the error
You're allowed to be weak
But not to be creek
In which someone will die
And you won't even cry
Don't ever do that to yourself
'Coz I promise, you will regret
If you can't look bravely at yourself
How do you imagine taking someone's help
'Coz anybody can make it happen
If they crumple a heart as a napkin
So with my mindset I colour the view
Making my grandpa's dream come true

She and my sister love me the most they always encourage me to apply for competitions because, as they say, I have a huge talent that someone must have recognize. I have a close friend who claims the same. I consider myself a person who goes from extreme to extreme, sometimes introverted, and on another occasion the opposite. More than monetary earnings, although we need consideration bad financial situation, I would like an expert to praise my work. I know tastes differ, writing is enough subjective area once, but from money, fame and everything that could possibly happen to a writer, what fascinates me the most is the idea of ​​someone adequate for that telling me "your work is worth it more…
