Do you ever question
Why must you be this way
Even though it's who you are
And it's who you're gonna stay
...
Decisions you've regretted
Events you can't forget
Mistakes you can't forgive
Dreams you've never met
...
Blame yourself for all your faults
Drive yourself insane
Call you out on every fault
Call yourself cruel names
...
Forgive and forget, they tell you
What if that's too hard
I've fallen and I can't get up
I cannot rise above the bar
...
I'm lonely and I'm falling
The ground is coming fast
Can I be forgiven
Is this next breath my last
...
Why do they all leave me
When I need them the most
Am I really that worthless
To make them leave their post
...
Head is screaming
Body aching
Knees are shaking
Hands keep quaking
...
Sideways glances
Offhand comments
Sneers and jeers
Awkward moments
...
Ignorance is bliss, they say
But sometimes I just crave one
The rare glance of acknowledgment
That I have never won
...
But every so often
You may receive
A single smile
A stranger's reprieve
...
That random smile
So sudden and new
From a random face
When I'm feeling blue
...
That's all I may need
When I'm down in the dump
That single random smile
Will lift my spirits up
...
So become that random stranger
And smile at someone today
You may just be the cause
Of their new fantastic day
...
Glass half empty, glass half full
Either way you won't be thirsty
It all depends on your perspective
Not whether you are worthy
...
So if you feel like you are wrong
And done nothing good today
Go share what little light you have
And brighten yours, you may
...
Don't ever think for a second
You are alone in this
For comes a time when everyone
May feel lost and missed
...
You cannot change the past
But the future is up to you
Don't dwell on your mistakes
For the future starts anew
