Have you ever felt
Like you did everything
But it wasn't enough
To them and to yourself?
Like you're looking,
Always looking
For something that
Doesn't even exist.
Like a part of you
Is never right,
Never will be,
So you just run and hide.
Now my dear
Is the time to stop
Making things hard,
You have to stand up.
Climb up not the tree
But high up the mountain.
Not for the world to see
But for you to be free.
Stop running
And just walk.
Time to slow down,
Go barefoot.
Be daring but calm,
See things on a better view.
Prove to no one,
It's not them, it's you.
Smile for them,
But also for yourself.
Learn to forgive,
But never forget.
Keep holding on,
But learn to let go.
When the time comes,
It'll make you grow.
Never give up.
Never ever quit.
For life is a serious game,
Fight in order to win.
[ We don't lose. We just learn. So get the hell up and keep going! ]
