That's Not Me


When a heap of doubts invades your mind
When an answer is so hard to find
When the shrug of fear that clouds your heart
And the devil of thoughts just plays his part
When all your hopes stand at a brink
Your mind, your heart begin to think
To just let go and simply quit
No sign of hope, no hint of grit
It’s just that moment, just that time
When life’s a lemon and not sweet lime
When the road ahead commands you flee
Look straight ahead, say “That’s Not Me.”

When the screaming voice that floods your mind
Provokes your fears that are hard to bind
You see no reason and just no rhyme
You walk ahead, but look back in time
 When you see less cans and you see more nots
A voice still whispers in your thoughts
“Hold on to hope and just be glad
Show guts you never knew you had”
When troubles laugh and people scoff
Show them what you’re made up of
When problems seem to have no key
And you wish to quit, say “That’s not me!”

When tears that fogged your pretty eyes
Give way and break through your disguise
You break down with the stress and pain
And cry like a four year old again
But once you’re done, don’t you look back
Give hope a chance, give fear the sack
Douse your fright, don’t lose your spark
Stars always shine when the sky is dark
Let your strength be seen in the white of your eyes
Why look at the ground when you’re made for the skies!
So set that fighter in you all free
When you feel like giving up, say “That’s not ME!!!”
