Ever get the feeling?
That you just want to give up?
That you just want to lie down on a field of grass,
And give everything up?

The time that you just can’t take,
All the challenges that come your way,
Meant to bring you down as you go on,
And get you nearer to the point you’ll break.

Even when you give it your best.
Even though you give it your all.
Even if you face all obstacles head on,
More will rise that are more capable of making you fall.

I, for one, have felt this feeling.
Day after day, I was always thinking.
Of running away from all my problems.
Thinking that through that they’ll all go away.

All my life I had thought this was the best escape
To run away, was the most logical solution
At first, it was easy to maintain
To pretend like the problems never came

But as time passed by I saw my fault
Running away never solved what I fought
The challenges I fled from grew bigger
And I was forced to face it head on

That’s when I learned to never back down
To never turn the other cheek
That I must face my problems with chin held high
To make sure it’s solved before I lay down, rot and die
