Life should be like gold and green forests,
Run daily with a mask that looks like you are maturing.
But deep down you just want to shout at everyone,
Backing up because you're about to fall.
When you sit there with your perfect life and you smile with your big grin.
So I stand and want to crawl out of my skin.
To be all ready and establish what I think is right,
So you get a punch and a kick and the question: why do you do it in a more difficult way.
To be in a body like this,
As help suddenly just stops, it says stop.
But you cling to the edge of life and scream but no one hears because everyone sees you as a fool.
Working hard because you think that in the end you might be able to buy yourself a better life,
But all you get is that you have to take longer steps.
To walk in shoes like the ones I have,
I promise you, you only had it for a few days.
But I have a family to support so I have to be strong.
So I hurt here with my back straight,
But before that, I'm on my knees and holding my ground.
