All my life, I had wanted to be famous in school or other places, doing different things, such as performing on stage, leading a school team of anything. And by being famous I meant walking around school and everyone would know you and say hi to you with a tone that you will feel like you are like a celebrity or a king. Well, but it never really happened during my school life, although not whole because since I am still grade 9 now but I did went through 10 years of school life and nothing like what I wanted happened, do you know why, well, because I was a coward, a coward that was too scare to even act like myself in school.
The reason why I was scared is because I was scared that people might laugh at me, well I think it's because it happened to me before and that became a bad memory that is forever stuck in my mind. When I was in primary, I enjoyed performing for the whole class, even the whole school, I remember very well, in an English book there was a part where we need to be singing, the teacher arranged it like some drama stage, and I was the character who needed to sing, well let's just say it end up like a show, everyone were watching and they were shocked by my singing skills, yea, everyone was like "woah" and some just went "Dude, host a show, Ima' watch you for sure!!!" well of course some might come up and tease me, but I don't really care because I know they were just jealous of how good I sang. Well, yeah, you might think "Yea, you see Rex? It ain't so bad, performing, everyone liked it!!!" Yea, that was like primary school grade 3, we were all kids and we all act the same, we play like kids, run around like idiots and cry because of stupid things. Now let's come to secondary, where we start becoming more of a teenager, I went to a new school, new people, new teachers, bla bla bla, all that. In the school, I am like the smallest boy, since my birthday is on November, which is like the end of the year while the others are like April, August or even January! So you can say they are one step ahead of me, or 3 steps or 5 steps whichever you prefer. So I was smallest boy, I still have that thought of "Let's have fun, this is school, isn't it? YAY!!" well I wanted, and I did, well, let's just say it didn't end well. Because you see the other boys are like teens and I am still on the stage of still-growing-into-a-teen, I played around and performed, all the people in my class, laughed the shit out of me, comments like "Man, you childish", "Ahahaha, kid of the week!!", "Do it again, you stupid punk!!" flies into my ears, and I was standing there like "Woah, what? You guys DON'T enjoy that?" and I was plain confused and walked back to my seat, I performed for a few more times and got the same response everytime again, so, peer-pressure changes you, well, it sure did to me. I started feeling embarrassed, I started feeling like a ridiculous kid, and soon enough, with all these pressure, I stopped, just literally, stopped, halted every single fun thing inside of me. So yea, I just go to school like a dumb kid with my bags on and say hi and same old shit, nothing much comes out of me, I guess that's good, because I stayed low profile for a few weeks or months, I forgot, and the teasing and stuffs vanished, but that's not what I want, I am not "Famous" anymore, not what I wanted, but I couldn't do it, because I was scared that my friends will laugh at me, so I just stopped, not much people talked about me anymore, I remember some people even forgot about me.
You see, I lost the "famous" throne, because I was a coward, I was too scared to go on stage and show them what I CAN DO!! You know what, if I hadn't pussy out, I bet now I am the most famous and talented kid in the whole campus!! But no, instead, I am just a tall kid following other people around like a dog and failing at every subject. But I met some other friends, yea I broke our "friendship" with those people who laughed at me, remember this "If they laugh at you, they are you enemies, if they support you, they are your friends". I met a couple of new better friends, they don't really care what other people think of them, I once asked them "Don't you guys feel embarrassed when everyone laughs at you??" Because you should have seen them in action, he pretended to be a monkey running around the classroom during English class. He just answered with "No, fuck them man, don't care about what they say, be yourself!" those words changed me and now I go back to my normal self, I perform, I do what I want because those haters can go to hell!!!
Lesson learned: Don't care about what they say about you, because they don't control your life, they can go to hell. You control your life and you do whatever you like, as long as it's legal, of course.
"Well you know what? Boost up the confidence, man up, don't be afraid to try, just do what you like! Pussying out is for losers and you're not one" That, that verse was from my crush, which, I don't want to talk about it, because it was a sad story, but she did change my life and I always keep that in mind when people laugh at me. So when other people laugh at you, you can just think "Fuck them, can they do any better? No, so they laugh because they are laughing at themselves 'oh, I can't do this, I suck so much'" and if you have the guts, yell out "Can you do any better? COME ON STAGE AND CHALLENGE ME!!" and then all the people will know, who's the king. So don't make the same mistake as me or you will never reach your dreams and become the KING!!!

Everything will be fine
Yeah,
this life isn't always worthy
No, this life isn't always easy
and often you think, you're all alone
and you only see that everyone hates you
and now you let your tears go and cry
everyone tries to talk your dreams out of your head
because they hope, you'll start giving up
and you ask yourself, when will it stop, the rain?
can't it just stop falling down on you?
you feel the eyes on you and know you're not welcome here
not welcome here, because you don't get any love
this concrete is called life, boy, and it gives you a head ache
and this head ache makes you die in a hole
and no one answers
I'm like you and you are like me, there are a hand-full of people like us
in the morning there's a new day, listen to your heart and try it
but believe me, everything is going to be fine
No, this life isn't always easy
and often you think, you're all alone
and you only see that everyone hates you
and now you let your tears go and cry
everyone tries to talk your dreams out of your head
because they hope, you'll start giving up
and you ask yourself, when will it stop, the rain?
can't it just stop falling down on you?
you feel the eyes on you and know you're not welcome here
not welcome here, because you don't get any love
this concrete is called life, boy, and it gives you a head ache
and this head ache makes you die in a hole
and no one answers
I'm like you and you are like me, there are a hand-full of people like us
in the morning there's a new day, listen to your heart and try it
but believe me, everything is going to be fine
And when you think you'll never get up again, then let them talk, boy
show them it's your dream and you want to live it
and prove these people that have never believed in you,
that what they have, you can have too
'cause when they think you should go away
Then show them, show them all, no one can stop you anymore
come, fall, raise your head and just look ahead
and try it now, I say try it, everything's going to be fine
show them it's your dream and you want to live it
and prove these people that have never believed in you,
that what they have, you can have too
'cause when they think you should go away
Then show them, show them all, no one can stop you anymore
come, fall, raise your head and just look ahead
and try it now, I say try it, everything's going to be fine
Everything's going to be fine man, you'll make it
You're used to envy and hatred
but you have a heart, when will that be rewarded?
and this road is a damn labyrinth
you have dreams, although sleep walking brings you nowhere
follow your instinct, don't listen to the people who talk
'cause you can see it yourself, your friends are standing here
be close to your friends, but be closer to your enemies
to forget is easy, but forgiving is harder
remain who you are, even when they say you're nothing
Do it for yourself, believe me man, or you won't get it
and when you don't get it, well, then everyone hates you
then you're everything and nothing, and above all a joke
don't let them pull you down, don't let them get you down
they have the same target, are unhappy theirselves
even when it's hard, we all want to be heroes
even when it's only for one day, yeah
You're used to envy and hatred

Then show them, show them all, no one can stop you anymore
come, fall, raise your head and eyes ahead
and try it now, I say try it, everything's going to be fine
and when you're down, they push you a bit deeper
a bit deeper, a bit deeper
Get, get up now, and show them who you are
'cause, only when you're gone, no one will cry over you
and when you're down, they push you a bit deeper
a bit deeper, a bit deeper
Get, get up now, and show them who you are

a bit deeper, a bit deeper

Song "Alles wird gut" (Everything will be fine) by German rapper Bushido
Don't give up and believe in yourself
Don't give up, never ever.
You know what, this world ain't no fairytale or any wonder land, it ain't perfect or the way you want it, it's an asshole, a douche bag, you can never win over it no matter how tough you are, it will be tougher than you and it will beat the shit out of you, and many people will quit and give up life because of failing so much and don't want to anymore, so that is why those people never win or get what they want. Don't give up and believe in yourself, life will never go kind on you, it will throw everything it have at you and it will do everything to make you fail, and when you fail, don't even think about, giving up, because if you do, you are a real looser, you cannot except one single small failure, THIS one single failure teaches you, that you should not be doing this again, and you SHOULD keep moving on, considering this as a lesson and DO NOT fall into this again and making the same mistakes, and when you move on, there's another shit waiting for you, that's another lesson, lessons after lessons, you will learn and find the path, to succeed, the harder the path is, the better and happier the ending is. We can either sit here and get shit dumped on us, or move away and find a better spot to sit, don't be afraid to get beat down, because you learn from that and more you get beat down the more you learn, the smarter you get, you've got a dream? Then aim at it, focus on the path to it and walk that path. Don't be afraid to fail, you can't always win, but don't quit because there is always a winning point in everything. Pain is temporary, it might last a minute, a month or even a year, but it will eventually go away and something else will take its place, but if you give up, that pain will stay with you forever. Don't give up because you got kicked down, life always fucks you up but it's sure to give you something YOU can handle, so there's no excuse for not possible, it's just that you won't even try, so get your ass up and try again and again and again until you reach what you wish and what you want. Many of you say you want to be successful, but you don't want to act, you don't want to do anything but you just want it, if you don't feed the gold fish how is it going to grow big and strong, so you got to get up and believe in yourself that you CAN do it, because no matter what other people think of you, ignore their asses, and do whatever you wish because it is your dream and no one can stop you because no one controls you life, your future is how you choose to live your life now. Why there are so many failures in one single path, think of it this way, you are walking a giant road in a video game, you step on the right side you blow up, you respawn and now you know that you should not be walking the right side because it will blow you up so you choose the left side to walk, that's what failure is, it teaches you a lesson and helps you back up and re-try and pack your way to what you want. So don't give up, don't, not now, not ever. Because there IS always a light in darkness, there's always a way out of the deepest hell hole.
