Glom On To Life

Nobody said it was going to be easy, right?

Then why should I assume that all will be just alright?

That’s right. They’ll pull you down with all their might

And leave you wounded and in a helpless detestable plight

What will you do then when the arrows of their words

Have pierced through your heart like double-edged swords?

When they make your life seem worthless and a big failure

Comparing you to people whose stories do not even come near

At such times your mind is burning up and becoming a living hell

It is so difficult to live with yourself and with your mind to dwell

When your inside feels so hollow and all you want seems so shallow

Yet all that you want is a life of peace and your dreams to follow

 

Why should you let every tide swallow you up and beat you dead?

Why should you not take control of life and ride the tides instead?

No matter how deep the wounds and how little their faith in you

And in your abilities and your intentions and in everything you do

No matter how suspicious their looks or how ridiculing their words

Just decide to make a life that’s worthy in your eyes and in God’s

Let not your heart resort to the things that were used against you 

Fight hard to keep your mind crystal clear and your heart very true

Then set out on a journey to discover yourself and grab hold of life

Yes, glom on to your life, seeking peace, joy and a life without strife
