Inspiration for all those who are feeling beat down and need a pick up.
You never know when life will get you down
Because life is just a puzzle to be made.
And the hardships that make you feel thrown around
Are like a tantrum, scattering the pieces.
The picture shattering like glass, falling apart
When will someone try to look for the pieces that are hidden away?
The flip of a coin to see who puts it back together
When all cooperation completely ceases.
There are times when the world sits on your shoulders
And gravity pulls you down.
There are times when weights are set on your chest
Who will help take them away?
There are times when all else seems lost and forsaken
And you're given the choice to sink or drown.
And there are the times you cannot run any longer
You just lay back and fade into the day.
Pick up the pieces and make the picture whole
Fill in what is missing, find yourself once more.
Become once more the masterpiece that is you
Do not slip into the never-forgiving night.
When you feel the pieces slipping into the abyss
Catch them before they hit the floor.
Become better than the ones who brought you down
And glue those pieces together tight.
