Sometimes the weight of it all comes crashing down
The weight of expectations
The weight of your hopes and fears
The weight of your dreams
Both new and old
Broken and shattered
New and full of life
It all comes crashing together in waves
Threatening to drown you
Threatening to engulf you
How do you go on when you can’t stand it
How do you move forward
When you can’t see
Past your own failures and mistakes
How do you make a new beginning
When you can’t get past where you’re at
Do you follow a distant beat
Or do you make your own
When everything come crashing down
Where do you run
Where do you hide
How do you fight when there is not enemy
Just you
How do you pick yourself up
When you’re being crushed
Everyone around you seems to be fine
They’re all moving towards goals
And dreams
Living their life seemingly to the fullest
You struggle to make it through the day
To get up each morning and face the dawn of a new day
But you do it anyways
Each and every time
You struggle and fight
Because you don’t know how to stop
You’ve never been one to surrender
You fight till the bitter end
That’s how you move on
And forge a new path
That’s how you get up
By not backing down
Never surrendering
And never giving up
That’s how you make it out
How you make your escape
How you make your new beginning
Through the blood sweat and tears
Of your progress of your continuous fight
As you go the way gets easier
The light eventually comes out
And you can see your way again
Eventually you figure it out
Cause you have no other choice
Its just who you are
You’d prefer for it to be easier
But you’re not sure if you’d be able to stand it
It wouldn’t be quite right
And it wouldn’t be the same
You’re not sure how to get something
Without fighting for it
Without struggling
Eventually the weight
Becomes easier
Becomes bearable
Until you add more
Because you realize you can take it
Because after all you’ve been through
What good is your experience
And pain
If you don’t help others
Never give up
Never back down
Never surrender
