The Debut


For those who've punched you And knocked you down Watch you rise Without a sound For those who said that you’re not great Walk out With a smile on your face Because the debut is the biggest thing Those who wouldn't Finally claim thee Through all life Through all that mess One’s true was always best And for the ones who tries to put you down The debut will shut them out Because you've been in the gutter Down to hell Got tucked in shadows And almost drowned Though with steady complications You pulled yourself up Away from the nightmares Away from fantasies Away from the demons Who wouldn't succeed So with these mistakes That have been made Never know how But it made it through the days From the bottom, up From old homes, to new Thus to you The debut
