the point.
It’s hard to be fair,
In a world that doesn’t care
If you win or if you lose.
It’s hard to be kind
In a world that doesn’t mind
When other hurt you.
It’s hard to believe
In a world that can’t conceive
Of giving credit where it’s due.
And it’s hard to give grace
In a world that would be content to replace
You, in an instant.
It’s hard to stay strong
In a world that does you wrong.
It’s hard to stay true
In a world that loves to use you
For its own good.
But you have to choose to be kind.
You have to choose not to mind,
When they try and break you down.
Just hold your head up high.
You have to choose to love,
You have to choose to rise above
The words the hurl upon you.
Because otherwise,
What’s the point?
When the world throws you its worst, stand up straight and keep your head up high. Remember, it's okay to cry, just don't let them break you <3
