Struggle

You think you're fine because you’re still standing But maybe you’ve just grown numb to the norm All alone in your thoughts overthinking Done nothing but apology formed The conversations that lead nowhere Past, present, future doesn’t matter the tense Keeps getting harder and harder to share Saying too much and too little The struggle you feel And the pain you conceal Keeps you second guessing Hidden beneath the veil Fight for survival There’s just no escaping That struggle is real Your mind takes you under like a sinking rock Dark thoughts, emotions, realities No escape Even just the thought of defiance can lead to a clock Now’s the time to stand tall, stand strong With people all around, you still feel alone The struggle you feel And the pain you conceal Keeps you second guessing Hidden beneath the veil Fight for survival There’s just no escaping Where did you go What happened to you Why did you leave Speak on what you think You’re weird You’re odd You’re awkward The struggle you feel And the pain you conceal Keeps you second guessing Hidden beneath the veil Fight for survival There’s just no escaping That struggle is real It’s a new day Even with the sun shining That struggle is real
