"A CHANCE TO FALL APART"

Written 2017-09-03

I'm denying my natural rights to fall apart

This world always demands a fight

with all my might

I don't always know

the next levels I should go

There's no turning back

even when I sometimes feel low

I'm struggling to avoid

the possibility of it

Falling apart is a scary bit

It means admitting that you're unfit

Still, I have to race

against the laughing demons in my face

trying to put me in disgrace

Tell me, is this nothing but a wild-goose chase?

Now I'm waiting for that dreadful chance

just to fall apart

My feet are too tired

Please, don't ask me to do the same old dance

But I can't give up

Hell, I never want to

I've already risked a lot

just to prove that I'm enough

really, really good enough

Still, I need a momentary break

This is one I cannot fake...
