Perspectiva

Another day where I can't move
Just wanna sleep and wait for the next
The same old routine
I'll break my head until the sadness stops hurting me

With my phone spinning in bed
Watching others' lives, now I'm the one missing out
Sometimes, when mom calls worried
I don't have a damn minute to pick up

I always make excuses to tell myself I should write
They'll forget me if I don't make another song
Dreaming to get here, I felt happier
And the one who forgot about me had always been me

But I understood, bathed in tears, that this sadness is temporary
The real tragedy sleeps in a hospital in Africa
That terminally ill person fights to stay one more day
How can't you move on?

Life gives it and life takes it away
Accept it, like this song that heals you because you let it hurt
To those who want to see you down, never fear them
You'll cry more for who you love, because it's who you expect the most from

I've filled rooms feeling alone
He who's not happy with anything, would never be with everything
And I know it burns, like swimming without seeing the sand
But I learned to float with a serene mind, and

I could do this all day like Cap
Without a shield, I shielded myself with my pencil
It hasn't been easy, the dream built me because I didn't settle for almost
The bomb, to explode, must accept it will be fragile

A problem is solved, not sought
Ask empathy, you'll make pain confused
Having everything and more, you'll say life isn't fair
Poverty doesn't complain about lack of likes

The best way to love is always to love myself
I can still fight because I still breathe
Everything depends, when the wind blows strong
Some will raise walls and others will build windmills

If pain is experience, I'm my competition
Indecision is also having decided
I've understood failing is the start of something
And I always had myself when I wasn't even with me

I know it hurts, no one said it wouldn't
But you're here, you're now
This is your moment because you are the moment
Choose
If you resist, you have no more options
Surrender or keep climbing stairs
So, up, keep going and have balls, huh
Life would be boring without downs

Don't you see we're blessed?
We have another day to try, not to regret
Stones in the path are there for a reason
A castle is too, but you don't see the effort to build it

Worrying is easy
The hard part: Letting pain make you better, that's why I don't cover it up
Grateful for those laughs in the hallway
They pushed me to leave something in the world because I shine

And I'm still devoted to my text
I know my worth and what I offer
I don't want to go viral if it won't serve others
I saw someone who never had anything share what they had
And it taught me that what they did was worth more than what I have

Walk, the only certainty is that it ends
Yesterday, a bit lower, and today, conquering another peak
Being happy is about changing perspective
And it's not how it's seen, but the eyes that see
