If the world told me to lay down
I'd get up
Just to spite it

If the world told me to stop trying
I'd succeed
Just to spite it

If the world told me to give up
I'd win
Just to spite it

If the world told me to die
I'd live
And laugh at it

I don't have to live in my dreams
When I can make them a reality

All it takes
Is getting up

And telling yourself
I choose to be happy

The romantic
Isn't the guy with all the girls
But the one who notices
That one girl he loves

The romantic
Isn't the guy who is chased by lovers
But the one who follows
One girl and loves her

The romantic
Isn't the guy with all the attention
But the one who gives
All of his attention

It's hard being the small guy
When you always have to be the bigger person
Little bit of irony with the concept of bullying I thought of the other day. Think about it.

What the morning brings
Is the sweet feeling
Of a day anew

It is the beginning
After a long night
Of slumber

The morning air is sweet
As it fills my lungs
Breeze blowing

The sun beckons me
Awake from slumber
And up to face the day

All of these eyes on me
I want to disappear
With nothing to see
But still be here

I can feel the taping
As messages are sending
All the cameras snapping
The eyes never relenting

How can I be guided
When I can't find closure
By getting reminded
Of all my failures

Everything is permanent
And I can't escape
When I'm sinking in concrete
With everyone on tape

I want to disappear
And live how I want to
I want to live freer
Act in a way that's true

Inhale
Exhale
One step
After the other

Inhale
Exhale
One moment
At a time

Inhale
Exhale
One day
And then another

Inhale
Exhale
Fail now
But keep trying

Inhale
Exhale
Wake up
And seize the day

Inhale
Exhale
Keep Breathing
And keep going
I dunno lol
