Don't Give Up

Confused kid

Disappointment comes in various stages
We feel it on different levels, throughout different ages
A knife to the back over candy, is easily forgiveable
But stakes only get higher, and the pain gets more unbearable

You can promise love under the moon and get heartbroken under the sun
Imagine a woman so fed up, she left her only son
Or a graduate who hoped to conquer the world, now swimming in debt
They come in many forms and styles the obstacles we face on earth


Imagine the broken homes, children who are disappointed from birth
How at night they make wishes for a better life, while having brushes with death
Parents a complete disappointment, whose only gift were scars on the back
The world must be hell in their eyes, with a creator very wicked, depraved and wack

The light comes soft and darkness with full force, like needles in the heavy rain
Maybe its just the surprise of the disappointment, but so sharp is the pain
Like feeling a physical and emotional cut to your rein
But not cracking or breaking is what it takes to be sane

Yes the mountain is high and the shit is deep, be strong dont get weak
Unless you are ready to succumb, lay on the ground and take failure's kick
Or take control and remember, in this world every man is his own God
So once your ready to put in the work, you can make great things out of nothing
