I don't like you

I don't like you 

I look stupid when I'm texting you
Cuz of how I blush at my phone

I feel stupid when I do my work
Cuz you're occupying my thoughts

I sound stupid
When I can't tell you exactly how I feel

I don't like you 

I smell weird when I'm coming to see you
Don't think all this cologne was needed

I look weird around you
Just cuz I want to make you laugh

I feel weird when I realize
Just how much you mean to me 

I don't like you 

You make me want to steal you
Put you in my pocket for me alone 

You make me lose track of time
Moments with you just fly by

You make me say and think things
That normally don't cross my mind

I don't like you 

I don't think you've changed me
I feel like this is the real me

I don't think labels should define us
Long as it's me and you I'm fine 

I don't think you're perfect but 
I've never seen such beautiful flaws

I don't like you 

Cuz I think you're so amazing 
Then I feel unworthy 

Cuz I think you're way up there
And I'm at the foot of the ladder

I don't like you 

Cuz...
Cuz I think I love you.

Positivity

People always ask me how I do it. 
How my smile never fades.
How my laugh always rings true. 
How my proverbial skin got so tough. 
How nothing really gets me down. 
And I try to explain, 
Positivity is a choice. 

Nothing can get to you unless you let it.
Choose your battles wisely. 
Choose how you spend energy. 
Choose where you show emotion. 
Choose to see the silver lining. 
The good in goodbye. 
The gain after the pain. 

Sure, society matters. 
But what do you think of you?
He says, she says. 
Shouldn't mean a thing. 
Public opinion is like gum.  
Unwrap. Chew on it. Spit out. 
Take the flavor, dump the rest. 
Don't let it stick to your shoe. 

If you want to do it, do it. 
Shoulder your responsibilities. 
Face your consequences. 
And do it with all of you. 
You're one in 7 billion. 
Don't conform unnecessarily.  
Be your own definition. 

Oh and don't forget to smile. 
It's a habit. A lifestyle. 
Fake it till you make it.
