batteries running low, don’t know how much longer I can keep on keeping on
feel exhausted to my core, sometimes it’s just too much to handle on my own
the moment I fix one thing, 10 new abysses seem to appear underneath my feet
yeah, I’m on a journey of lifelong learning – but I yearn for that moment, saying: “finally I graduated, this feels really sweet”
strong girls don’t cry, right? yet I sense a tsunami of tears approaching my stoneheart coastline
and I guess I’ll just let the salty waves crash over me and give in to nature’s forces this time
what’s the use of being a fighter and invincible anyways, every day, year by year
when you’re standing on the shore all alone, no one around to say “I see you’re drowning”, throw you a lifeline and dry your every tear
they say “this too shall pass” – and I know that this lesson too will soon come to another self-made happy ending
sadness is part of living authentically – and it’s no inspiration to others to continuously keep on pretending
that life’s nothin but a 24/7 rainbowcoloured glitter dream on trouble-free cloud number nine
so let’s ride this wave, cry those tears, cause life-experience taught me: everything happens for a reason – and soon again everything’s gonna be fine.
