Breakdown

Yeah lots of times you want people to treat you well

Like everybody else

Why do you care

You wish you could start a fight with somebody’s disrespect

But you hold your aggression

Breakdown

Nobody notices you

Or when they do it feels like a trap

Things are going well right now

Could all be an illusion

Discipline yourself

Told somebody about some therapeutic device

I want one

You think it was a joke

Life sometimes feels like it is about disaster avoidance

Disaster recovery

I know intrusive thoughts

Pain

All the hurt

Hey

What are you gonna do about it

Self-discipline yourself

Be a warrior

Unlock the warrior within

Stop pouting

Won’t get you nowhere

Likely you deserve way worse

Is what I tell myself

Why do I throw myself a pity party

They see you as an outcast

Because they don’t understand you

Life’s unfair

Will feel worse if you chase people

Instead of chasing excellence

If everybody sees you as an outcast

Take that pain and talk to God

Even if it is an illusion

And some things are going great

Don’t count on it

Have a high tolerance to pain

So, you don’t have a

Have a

Have a

Breakdown

Life isn’t meant to be easy

Life isn’t meant to be fair

And just

And filled with justice

There is evil principalities

The enemy wants you sleeping

You were supposed to do something yesterday

Bear minimum

Instead, you waited until midnight

Ate a bunch of food

And slept

Today you get what you deserve

Don’t throw yourself a pity party

The enemy has trips and traps

Don’t walk through hazardous doors with your eyes closed

Acting like you have no backbone

Breakdown

Society wants to take advantage of you

Everybody is extra moody these days

Are you gonna be devoured by the negativity

Hold back the tears

What is wrong with you

You are a warrior

Part of a royal priesthood

A prince

Why do you act sad

You don’t need a hug

Attention

Affection

You needed self-discipline

Self-esteem

Edification

So, stop ignoring your goals

Throwing a pout party

Turn the pain and weakness

Into greatness

Even if they see an outcast

Be like a rare unicorn

Instead of asking for a second

A third

A fourth look

Forgiveness is a big thing

Accepting others back is a big thing

But be careful

People lack wisdom

So, don’t give yourself a breakdown

Some strangers will gossip about you

Even much older

Or younger

And you have nothing to do with them

Silence is strong but you could have done better

Don’t give yourself a breakdown

Yeah, breakdown

I know a thing or two about that
