Fuck I'm so tired
But all this stress got me wired
A little peace is all I desire
But I'm stuck running through the fire
Bare foot against the burning coal
It's so hot it almost feels cold
I'm getting old but this shit still isn't getting better
Letter after letter I can't write this happiness into existence
There's just too much distance between the pen and heaven
I can only pretend that these words serve a higher purpose
Where the worth is in your willingness to hear them
I know it's easy to fear them
But remember that sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you
They'll never desert you because you are irreplaceable
Unshakeable
You are what you make of it all
You'll fall
Fuck it you'll crawl until you can stand on your own two feet again
And you'll do it again until you can hold yourself up for good
Misunderstood
You should be trying to understand yourself
Because to know yourself is to know your wealth no matter what you've dealt with
Sit in your sorrow today and tomorrow until you see sunny days so bright from all the rays where there's a will there is a way no matter what they say
You are my everything and there's nothing you or your alter ego can do to alter how I feel about you
She might steal you for a second but the second you come back I lack the ability to be mad
That's facts
You are exactly who you are supposed to be
The universe doesn't make mistakes
Where the mistake is made is in making your greatness your fault
It's not your fault that you are different
What makes you different makes you special
Especially unique
Don't feel defeat
Just feel your heart beat and know that you are alive
You have survived and you will survive until the day you die
So please keep trying
I know you feel like you're dying but the demons are lying
Defy the odds
Remain odd and know that I love you a whole hell of a lot
