Instructions For A Feeling

feeling not good enough?

well, we've all felt like that

accepting failures too much?

yeah, I've been there, in fact

I've been ignored and abused

seems for most of my life

here are somethings you can do

to keep on fighting the fight

be kind to yourself

accept that we all make mistakes

put your pride on the shelf

we've all had our share of scrapes

remember, when you fall down

there is only one way back up

let a smile replace your frown

show yourself, you are tough

it's true we all face hard times

and the pain can drive you to your knees

life can be an uphill climb

we're given no guarantees

but my friend, you're not alone

there is always someone who's been there

someone who fully knows

that this world can be unfair

so when faced with defeat

don't let it hold you down long

get back up on your feet

there is someone who needs you to be strong

although you can't see it now

you will be someone's salvation

for now, you're just adjusting your crown

passing through to your true destination
