Living Or Just Breathing

it's times like these when you are at your lowest point when you are on your knees with your head held down oh , how vulnerable you must be Get up and get that dirt off of your jeans Don't let them see you like this Oh, please just rise up and realize that your life has meaning You're so much stronger than you look I swear, just don't turn your back on the ones that you love the ones who never gave up on you you push, you pull, you thrive to survive but how can you succeed when you haven't even opened your eyes it appears that you have hit rock bottom but you just need to stop following the trends and beliefs of this dying generation oh yes, stand up, rise above, with both of your eyes wide open Live your life and know what it means to succeed Be yourself and live to live Not just to breathe

your soul brings tears to my eyes how could you see from so far away how i ach to die and tell me to rise up from the ground to change my face from this sickening frown this tragedy that lies within my heart that i am just another part and no one sees the true me no one sees inside of me who am i? a creature like the rest with problems that seem to hold me back and i seem to stand alone hurting to my core broken to the bone where is my life the things i see i need to believe and not just breath
