I AM
I used to be a mountain
that no one else could move
i used to know just who i was
and exactly what to do
i used to love to learn
education was my life
then school became a burden
and people were just knives
I shut out all my family
my teachers and my friends
religion only weighed me down
the holes just wouldnt mend
my grades began to sink
my motivation left
i found my only solace
when i would eat or when i slept
they tell you that its hard
to really lose yourself
but i think that its harder
to try to get back up
but its what im doing
im getting back up
back up
back up
