The Struggles Of Life

There are a lot people around the world

With different types of pressures bearing down on us

Like it's just there casting a shadow over you

Just to ease your fears

Or just weighing your shoulders down

But it's just bearable

But for others it's too much

And the weight of the world comes crashing down

Smushing them down like a pancake

Yet I feel like the black sheep of the family with a rain cloud over my head

Always filthy but I know it's not my fault

The bad luck constantly follows me most of the time

Is like my shadow who is so much longer than myself

Well at least that's what everyone around me tells me

Constantly fighting lightness and darkness on a daily basis

But hey I do have some bits of good luck every now and again

I've faced hell too many times with no strings attached

The heat of hell has only singed the hairs on the back of my neck

But don't worry they've grown back

And each time I comeback from hell I've lived to tell the tale

And each time I came back stronger

Sure I have my secrets hidden deep inside

Even darker ones that no one will ever know

But I do have nicer secrets too which I won't go into at this point in time

I have so much ambition laid in front of me

But hearing the clock ticking in the background

Makes me wonder how much time do I have left

One minute I am so full of joy ready to start a new adventure

Then my past comes back to haunt me

And pull me back into the darkness a place where I'd never want to be
