Get up.


 

You try so hard to make other see what they can be 

But yet you yourself do not believe 

So this is a message to me and others like me 

You too deserve to be seen and set free 

Set free from the chains of your pain 

Set free from the life you believe you cant change 

Set free from that never ending Chain 

Get up Get Up Get up 

You can’t be set free if you aren’t up 

You go through the motions 

Without experiencing any emotion 

That is not living for you are not up 

Get up get up get up 

I’m begging you be here

The people around miss you dear 

Get up get up get up 

For if you don’t get up now 

You’ll be like me

To late to far gone and just like that Pow 

You’ll end up on the news at least 

You’ll be the talk for weeks 

But That’ll all wear off and the pain will come back 

and it’ll rain on everyone you knew 

and you do not want them to suffer the way you do 

you don’t want them to go pow you want them to live in the now

so please get up get up get up

<p>thank you for writing this. i want to give up on myself, i feel trapped in this life i live but hate, i feel like i don&#39;t deserve happiness, reading this was like a gentile reminder that i am worth it, and that happiness is my choice.&nbsp;</p>
