I'm fighting cynicism with a mysterious force called happiness, 'well that's a lie you're a liar' - I know that's the truth.
But if I just say something optimistic then they'll browse over me and I can hide away or just remain paralysed by self-hatred and self-doubt... second guessing myself.
But I don't feel like myself, whatever that feels like.
If everyone hates a cynic then hide your emotions, intentions and problems; you're only bothering folks more important than you but the problem with that attitude is it lacks perspective and gratitude for your fortunes and blessings and only holds others back from progressing, if they're forever regressing.
And I don't feel like myself, whatever that feels like.
If you don't have the time to help a sister or a brother then don't complain if they let you down, cause they just can't help if they're 'so wrapped up in their mental health'
And all of a sudden, they're 'selfish' - why can't they be more like you? Like you!
We're all different we each have a struggle, we all need help cause we're all in trouble.
