I Must

Save me 

it feels like I am drowning

slipping away with the tide

my heart keeps pounding

I don't know why 

I keep frowning

I must keep going

I must keep growing

I must keep showing

I must hold on just a little longer

what you don't die from makes you stronger

from broken bones

to broken homes

to a broken soul

every part of the universe has its role

so go for your dreams and chase the goal

stay in my lane 

while I play the game

everybody has their part 

just not the same

fingers will always point 

to blame

you go through all this pain

trying to get fame

why so the media can tarnish your name

and drive you insane

use your brain

as a slave 

until you grow old with a cane

or gone in a grave.  -TA
