Will I Always Be Weak Minded


 

it’s hard being strong

everyday i walk along the same paths , repeating the same songs when i go to class

a system that drains my energy 

surrounded by people who i try to push out of my memory 

but somehow .. destroy me mentally

it’s hard being strong 

in every moment of me trying to find out where i belong , i worry about what the next thing in my life that could go wrong

it’s hard being strong 

searching for a group like you .. 

when all people know how to do is plot , it’s a lot ..

having to face society , when sadness and confusion surround my mentality 

not knowing when i’ll come across another tragedy ..

it’s hard being strong 

putting on a fake smile when i am not happy

and telling others to smile when i’m feeling crappy

it’s hard being strong 

and i wanna give up 

my lows have been a lot to manage .. and having no one who can listen and understand and relate and contribute to your heartache makes you feel like you’re out of luck

it’s hard being strong

but my journey isn’t finished 

.. or is it ?

it’s hard being strong

everyday i walk along the same paths , repeating the same songs when i go to class

a system that drains my energy 

surrounded by people who i try to push out of my memory 

but somehow .. destroy me mentally

it’s hard being strong 

in every moment of me trying to find out where i belong , i worry about what the next thing in my life that could go wrong

it’s hard being strong 

searching for a group like you .. 

when all people know how to do is plot , it’s a lot ..

having to face society , when sadness and confusion surround my mentality 

not knowing when i’ll come across another tragedy ..

it’s hard being strong 

putting on a fake smile when i am not happy

and telling others to smile when i’m feeling crappy

it’s hard being strong 

and i wanna give up 

my lows have been a lot to manage .. and having no one who can listen and understand and relate and contribute to your heartache makes you feel like you’re out of luck

it’s hard being strong

but my journey isn’t finished 

.. or is it ?
