It's so easy To stay as you are To stand still Not to be different But I should not I should not get back to where I were I should go forward It's too easy To stay the same Real power Is knowing how to change

Every black cloud has a silver lining Every tear broken happiness Being hurt can let you be seen Sickness your relief of stress Pain gets you to seek help Death to see who your true friends are Get heartbroken and there's one less that can be the one, to raise your bar. There's always a lesson, I hope you have a reason to fight To be your best self And get back to the light There will be dark times, But you'll get through And if you want to give up, I'm here, standing next to you. Because together We're stronger We can hold on Just a little bit longer

Piercing eyes on your back Changing behaviour A mad glance A sad stare Afraid To miss out Afraid To do something wrong Something out of line Like an animal Constantly alert, afraid of their enemies

There seems to be one tool: One treat to rule everything, one thing that keeps us, and others, from ruining our own plans.   Control Control of yourself, to do what's best, instead of what's most fun. Control of others, to get the job you want, to get the friends you desire. Control would've saved us all from our (stupid) mistakes, right? See, this is where it gets complicated. Because your timetable sometimes doesn't match with someone elses. Because sometimes there's just not enough time. Because sometimes your mood doesn't go with what you had planned.

around & around in circles in endless loops I get trapped. Stuck I see why and it only drags me in deeper Narcissus upside down drowning in reflection attempting to find reason Order in chaos keep control end up way down Drowned Stranded on so many mirrors Vicious circles Ch ao s . I can't solve this. had so much help. Afraid never Can't solve this on my own. Maybe. Someday. Someone .

Reflect and reject, Myself, over and over Mood and roots, My greatest enemies Train to remain Calm, to not overreact Fear is near, Despite my efforts Free to be Is all I ever wanted Society and reality Drag me back every time So does my mind, Forcing me to rhyme
