Be Here


It is easy to give up

It is easy to move on

Let the pain subside, continue

 

Feel what you are

Don’t let the pain in

It may be inevitable

You will always be forced to take a00 wrong turn

 

Your mind will trick you

Your life will feel right

When everything you do is so wrong

 

Is it fate?

Is it your destiny?

No, no, no

It is you, it is everything you do and you did

In which has led you to this overpass

 

Too many things build up

Believe me I’ve been there

It hurts

But you will make it through

 

You need to deal with your own decisions

Be the person you want to be

Don’t be the person

Walking out to the pond at midnight

Stepping on that dock and wondering… what’s left?

 

Finding your way is painful

Finding what the right way is, is even harder

Sometimes it doesn’t matter what happens next

As long as you’re here for it to happen

 

I’m not saying things will get better

I’m just saying look up and look down

Which looks better

 

Try, try your best

Fore succeeding may not be for you

But one day it will be

 

So, walk right back in through that screen door

And let it slam behind you

Be here

Be alive

Be you
