Unlike You

There's an ache in the back of my head

But I don't mind

I didn't go out of line

It reminds me that I am not dead

Unlike you.

I see you every day, walking around

But your eyes are empty

It's like your soul

Is nowhere to be found.

You don't want to listen

The only words you really know

Are the ones that are written

But those aren't words you hear, they're letters

And letters can't hurt

Unlike words that beat you until you can't breathe

And leave you lying in the dirt

You can't fight back, they disappear

It's like they run away

They don't want to face you

They can't stand your fear

And you are afraid

If you're not you're a fool

And I know you're not, because once

...You had a soul.

And I can't promise tomorrow will be better

But I can hope

And as long as there's mystery in the air

And a letter to tear,

While there's faith to be burned

And stories to be told

I will fight for that tomorrow, and the day after

I will fight for you

Because there's an ache in the back of my head.

And I know... I am not dead.

Dreams, fear, getting up...

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you can't win? You do your best, but even so you fail?

Sometimes situations like that make you feel worthless and you want to quit. Well...

If a soldier would give up every time he lost one of his own, then the battle would be lost.

If a mother of three would give up after loosing one of her children, what would happen to the others?

Imagine never investigating anything, just because last time you found something you'd rather not see.

Think of trying to grab a man's hand, but he still slips and falls, would you never reach out to help anyone again?

Falling off a bike while learning, then never getting back on it, because of fear.

Quit playing, just because you lost one game.

Stop dancing, because you missed a single step.

Don't give up. 100% people who never tried, didn't succeed. Have courage, have hope. Try again and be grateful for every time you fall, because you just got another chance to get up.

Go back in to the fight, because there are those who need you. You're a part of a team, how ever small or big, and make sure you always do your best, because there's no point in living if you're just sliding through life on the easy side. Don't be afraid of going in two vs. one, because someone will always show up to back you up. Trust people you're with. They are there for you.

You CAN reach your goals, just try hard enough. Don't let them be forgotten in the sky, take them into your own hands.

Don't give up.
