Rise

When the path is tough and skies are gray,
Remember, brighter comes the day.
Each step you take, no matter how small,
Leads you closer to standing tall.

Believe in yourself, and keep the fight,
Your dreams await—just chase the light.

Love makes you a good writer,
Pain makes you a greater one.

Your sleepless nights,
Are under your eyes.
The darker it gets,
That deeper your skies.

along with the stars,

Where you won't even know I'm there,
even if I'm right there in your sight.— % &— % &

Pouring rain through your eyes.
A rainbow covers your cheeks,
I feel your warmth within my hands!

Sweet winds from beyond,
Bring news too divine.
Billowing your tresses,
Even cupid be damned.

I'm glad to be under the same sky as you are & breath the same air you do.
But I'm more happy as your heart beats the same way as mine when you look at me.— % &

Not proper? I couldn’t understand it. Why would it be improper for her to laugh?
