​Find a way and open doors
​to set others free

Even though we know that nobody is perfect and people will disappoint and possibly hurt us, it is still nonetheless, one of the hardest lessons to learn in this lifetime. Often people close to us can hurt us the most. What is even more difficult, is speaking up about it without being named the victim, or being called out for playing one.

A lot of us have tried to quit. To give up. But that is not easy to do. Another day comes and we have to find strength within to fight. To find a better way but most of all, to do better. We canʼt let our pain get the better of our own persona. You are here, so you are meant to be here.

We have to be mindful, that although others may hurt us, we donʼt ourselves hurt others and that we find ways to be kind.

Sometimes it seems hard to constantly strive to do better and at the same time it hurts because you know that it is possible.
So do it. Donʼt be held hostage by those who have lost their way.

For the longest time
I was looking down 
Held my head down low
as I tried to grow

It didn't work you know
no, it didn't work
Oh it didn't work you know 
no, it didn't work

I felt the shame and the blame
weighing down on me 
as I tried to get out
set myself free

It didn't work you know
no, it didn't work
Oh it didn't work you know 
no, it didn't work

But it don't come easy
when you know
you're not accepted
Comes across shady
saying you feel neglected
People don't keep up on
response ability
knowing they can hurt you
they don't want to see

For the longest time
you where looking down 
Held your head down low
as you tried to grow

It didn't work you know
no, it didn't work
Oh it didn't work for you
no, it didn't work

You felt the shame and the blame
weighing down on you
as you tried to get out
it didn't work out for you

But it don't come easy
when you know
you're not accepted
Comes across cheesy
saying you feel neglected
People don't keep up on
response ability
Knowing they can hurt you
they don't want to see

The way it effects you
the way it brings you down
but I'm asking you real gently
just look around

You're here so you're meant to 
you can if you want
Find the light within you
Do better
​Be kind
