MOTIVATION FOR TEENS
SUBMITTED BY TEENS
"I'm running, running for freedom, running to get out, running nowhere in particular, any place but here. But I'm on a treadmill, I'm tired and not moving. I want to sit down and cry, for I cannot focus mymind on positives when the ones I love are not with me. But I crawl, trying to stand up, to continue my journey of hope towards freedom but this path is hard, but I have to shine through because what islife if you can't LIVE it? You will be alone during the journey but at the end, your loved ones are there waiting. Live in hope, even though your future is misty and happiness will not last. Push throughbecause you have only got ONE chance."

For a person of 20 - 30 years of age, peace is getting a good job and a day off."
