"Hard Knots"


"Hard Knots" is for the "Hard Nots" in the "school of "Hard Knots Seem like everybody tryna be somebody they're not Seem like people then forgot How to be normal Not being formal...with each other Can't even trust some guy to call himself your brother Why me I say why me... am I involved in this catastrophe We all our trying to find ourselves I guess But does that technically mean we have to impress... That is people who surround us on a day to day basis Looking into our eyes and faces With confusion while I am leading an illusion Into the eyes of my observers They are looking as if they want me to fall over But that won't happen because I am strong I will strive to carry on "Hard Knots" is for the "Hard Nots" in the "School of "Hard Knots" But as a "hard not" I myself has forgot How to be me, How to fly free Is this even Healthy? Oh I plan to see How this will turn out Will this leave me down and about Without a doubt In my mind alone and scared in my bed Ready to shed...tears that are unspoken , unheard of But hopefully I will rise above Above this nonsense, with all of this suspense In my mind...deep in my soul, hear me out cuz I must go... As a "hard not" in this "school of "hard knots" as I grow.
