Now I Feel Much Better

Some people have kicked me after I've fallen, 
they do it because they feel good
but if that's what they need to feel that they succeed 
then I don't feel as down as I was
if they lack the courage to stand and encourage 
then they must have sat when I stood 
so if I start crawling straight after I've fallen 
I'll move more than they ever could 
and they will believe that they have achieved 
not falling as far down as I would 
they must feel hopeless completely unnoticed 
a tree nobody turns to wood 
now I feel much better I'm not that pathetic 
with all of this stuff understood
