It’s beauty always fades Is what someone often says In an effervescent haze Hiding their never ending pain You’ve got to batten down the hatch As days burn faster than a match Then grab tight and give a pull So that you become attached No lofty expectations No fleece covering your eyes Just tremendous palpitations Before you say goodbye To the world of hypocrites And you, yourself, are one You can end it all just like your friend Looking down the barrel of a gun Send a bullet through your skull End the monotonous delay Call it out for what it is Call a ***** a ***** Or stop playing the victim Make your word your bond Find something you like doing Go out and look beyond Don’t let obstacles dissuade you Where there’s a will there is a way Embrace determination Why not start today?
