Growing up is a part of life
But how can anyone take it in stride
Hang up our own selfish pride
Put our own ambitions aside
To just listen
To just be
To actually have the ability to see
The hurt. The struggle.
The crap so many juggle.
And to be there in the defeat.
Until the success finally begins to repeat.
Can't we just put this life on pause
Stop and just wait for the coin toss
Until the world stops and we count the loss
But at what cost?
At what measure will our failure foster?
When aren't we all imposters?
Nobody is as real as they say
Nobody takes the time to just pray
To just listen
To just be
To actually have the ability to see
The hurt. The struggle.
The crap so many juggle.
And to be there in the defeat.
Until the success finally begins to repeat.
When the pain is too much to muster
And you feel like your life is just a cluster
One mess after the next
When you're always the first to text
You're always the one with the problem
The one who can't solve them
But you feel so alone
Because no one is ever home.
To just listen
To just be
To actually have the ability to see
The hurt. The struggle.
The crap so many juggle.
And to be there in the defeat.
Until the success finally begins to repeat.
But when time runs out
And there's nowhere to go
You'll regret when you said no
When you couldn't just listen
When you couldn't just be
When your vision is cloudy
When you couldn't see
And you're forced to face the defeat.
Always living your life on repeat.
