Self - Help

Sometimes I wake up and instantly hate the day.
Surrounded by a million open mouths without a single thing to say.
I do my best to keep my head up, to shrug the haters off.
But usually the smile on my face is simply a lie about my thoughts.
Sometimes all I can do in bad times is to keep my feet planted.
Outlast them and their bringers, be the last man standing.
This too shall pass so endurance is key.
Sometimes knowing that I still wonder if I'll ever be free.
Free from the grain, free from the grit
Free from the pain that came with the hit
Of my girl of 6 years telling me to split
Because she was tired of my bullshit
Bullshit that came from a life I did everything to fix
So I roll up the thing that I broke off the brick
Lite that motherfucker and proceed to forget that trick.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel or at the end of a joint?
Either fucking way I think I get the point.
If the sun refuses to shine and all of life seems like a fight
Then set the world on fire and make your own fucking light.
