Motivation

People say they understand People say it's all OK But then again, who are they? They don't know what I go through All they do is misconstrue They say put on a smile And change your mind awhile Fake it till you make it to the top of the pile Well I can't fake this anymore And all they say is my attitude's poor It hurts so bad I want to scream It's like life's a balance beam And I'm teetering on the edge Think I'm gonna fall off But every day I get out of bed Pull myself up by my bootstraps I put my shoes on the wrong feet And I stare out that window seat People say they understand People say it's all OK But they haven't gone through this have they? I don't know why this happens to me Say everything's got a reason, but I don't see So when is this show over? When can we all go home? I'm tired of being beaten down I cry without making sound I let the tears roll down my cheek I'm tired of being unique Why can't things be normal again? Hit "Rewind" and get out of this bind And my mama told me never go near that kitchen knife Well I've Had a little run-in with life I came a little too close I went a little too far And now all I've got left is are these battle scars They all said don't give up the fight And I sighed and said, "Well I just might" I wrapped myself up in a cocoon All I had was gloom People say they understand People say it's all OK They were right to say I think I hit rock bottom But it's all uphill from here I wanna dig myself out of this pit I wanna reach that summit And if I say I will, I will Find a way to transcend this mess Somehow transform this unrest Take the bad and make it good Like all along, I knew I would I must've got dealt a bad hand But proud and true I know I'll stand Cause when it comes down to it I know I'll get through it
