Sometimes it’s very hard to love a human being,
This in turn means that it can be hard to love yourself,
A wise person once told me no argument with man can you win,
This is because opinions and perspectives are subjective – from within,
We all feel the same emotions and have the same struggles,
The desire to find ourselves and make our mark on the world,
So never judge your fellow man when you see they are troubled,
You never know when an existential crisis can hit you strong.
Puff, puff, pass,
Wish the feeling would las’,
Sip, sip, glass,
Hangover too heavy to nurse,
Pour, pour, drank,
Best high you can take that to the bank,
Sex, sex, fun,
Can’t tolerate her once I’m done,
Escape, escape, escape,
Proving to be my hero without a cape,
Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety,
Wonder if the cure is a life of piety,
Peace, peace, peace,
Only thing that can put my mind at ease,
It’s part of our survival instincts to want to run away,
When the pressure seems too much to bear or stay,
We find ourselves escaping to keep our unhappiness at bay,
But escaping is never the solution all it does is delay,
We need to be able to face our problems head-on,
Avoiding them will not make them magically gone,
In fact, they end up compounding leaving us more torn,
But when we face them and win we become stronger reborn.
