Tug of War

Full of questions Full of fears Full of temptations The burden bears The love in me is dehydrated I need to quench my thirst I’m trying to get to my destination But I fall and I get hurt I put up this barricade People play with my feelings Like a game at an arcade I always run my hardest Yet I am always falling short I am parading my failure Like it’s an Olympic sport I am watching all the stars In the sky and on TV That picture perfect life Why couldn’t that be me? I don’t have that silver platter I get a plastic plate I’m not sitting life in luxury Working hard must be my fate I guess I’m playing tug of war With the rope to succeed or fail. But neither of them is winning I guess the game will prevail So here I am, I am stuck without my raincoat, Just my luck! I’m starting to feel like I am a pebble in everyone’s shoe And the lies people tell me Are starting to come true I learned how to play chess So I can be three steps ahead But I never win against whom I am going head to head It’s like a TKO every single time How can I make lemonade When I was given a lime? I can usually get what I want Just no what I need I am always able to take a breath But it is polluted air I breathe. But it really is ok Im ok with it now, Once success wins this tug of war, I will proudly take a bow.
