Overcome

Got to seem confident even if you’re not

Sometimes that trickery’s the only thing you got

Don’t let this world leave you behind to rot

You’ve got to go and take this shot

 

Believing even when everyone says you’re through

Hoping and dreaming even when they’re not true

 

So close to closing the gap, but it stretches a mile away

Upon bitterness you trip, praying for success on a new day

 

Possibilities buzzing all around, impossible to reach

Within frustration suddenly begins to breach

 

Fear and doubt both expunged into smoke by a raging flame

Done with feeling left out, this feeling’s impossible to tame

Tomorrow must exist for you to claim

 

The challenges you face loom mighty and tall

Set by the reapers of greed seeking your fall

You must be determined to pass whether you must run or crawl

 

Despair rises at times like these, threatening to engulf your heart

Overcome the seas of sorrow and mounds of misery

Life’s a play, we all must choose our parts

Become the person who can set you free
