Own Skin

There's a feeling that I can't describe.
A feeling that keeps me up all night.
As I lay here, I wonder how I've managed to get this far.

Clawing at my skin.
Wishing it would just rip right off.
Staring into the mirror I'm at the brink of it all.
As my Eyes fill up with tears.
While I beat my body black and blue.

Anger threads my head.
I still push forward.
Hurtful words stick to me as much as they would to you.
Someone once told me "Every action has a reaction".

Don't be what they want, just be who you are.
Because who you are will get you far.

I'm not here to dictate how you should live your life.
Move past the pressure, that digging on your chest.
Repetition can only mean two things.
Either failing or doing the right thing.

You have a purpose on this world.
Value yourself, value your time, there is no reset.
Value your own skin with every single giving moment .

There's a certain feeling that I can't describe.
A feeling that keeps me up all night.
As I lay here, I wonder how I've managed to get this far.

Value yourself.
Value your time.

There's a certain feeling that I can't describe.
A feeling that keeps me up all night.
As I lay here, I wonder how I've managed to get this far.

Value yourself.
