I feel like screaming out to everyone and the world that I am not who you think I am
I am trying so hard to be so much more but I feel like my attempts are so futile
What do I do?
I want to run and run and run but my lungs can't handle it
And I want to love and love and love but no one can act right
No one knows how to hold on to what they want, even if it means losing them for a little while
No one knows how to accept that you have to play the game to win even though you don't want to,
You feel like it's admitting defeat but if you win in the end, what's losing a few battles in the beginning?
What's giving up now if you can rise to power when you most need it?
What's backing down now when you'll know how to stand up later?
What's running if there is no walking?
What's love if there is no hatred?
What happiness if there is no anger?
What is empowerment if there is no helplessness??
