My motivations gone idle My rhythm feels flat I’m not suicidal Because I chose to adapt To see the silver lining The light at the end Of my tunnel of trouble And it’s real, not pretend I lift up and move on I get out of my rut I feel it, I know it Deep down in my gut It’s my sense of survival My yearning to thrive That helps me keep going And keeps me alive It’s a sense of adventure A curious query To take a life that’s mundane And not make it so dreary I fill it with laughter And what brings me joy To be extroverted Not bashful or coy This is my burden That I need to destroy And become a man Not just a boy
