In the Face of Adversity

When facing the impossible we put our game face on
Only to try and trick the impossible that it is wrong
Its not really how we feel inside
Because all we wanna do is break down and cry

We try and be the best that we can be
And hope that we don't fall out of life's tree
We do our best to put on the mask of confidence
When really we struggle to hold onto consciousness

I'm not sure how much longer I can weak the mask
Because I can see, it is starting to get full of cracks
I don't want to let anybody else see it shatter
As my entire life comes crashing down in a clamor

Running away isn't going to fix the problem any better
In fact, I may just feel as though I have been through a shredder
I need to find a way to fix how I'm feeling inside
But nothing I seem to do stops the backward slide

I need to put myself into my crawler gear and start the climb
For this is my time to start to shine
Just gonna get the clutch loose and pop the gear free
Then drop it down a couple notches and let the gas flow with speed

But that is the hard part, being able to get my brain focused enough
To let me change the gear, to get going and stop from sliding off the bluff
But so far it doesn't look as though it is going to happen
But who knows maybe I'll be saved by a flying dragon

For now it seems as though I'll still be on triage of the brain
To stop my mind from feeling like something will remain
That when is all said and done, that I will make it through the day
When the sun sets, I'll have made it through the daily fray.
