10 parts rejection
10 parts lonely
4 parts boredom
steeped in apathy
makes you forget to strive
clouds your ability to see

7 parts fear
10 parts lack of self-belief
5 parts hesitancy
several dashes of grief
turns you into your own victim
the real you can't speak

9 parts old patterns
10 parts old pain
10 parts being haunted
marinated in the same old refrains
makes you a prisoner
locked in homemade chains

7 parts people you can't count on
7 parts of the nasty
7 parts of those who don't care about you
a couple teaspoons of the crafty
then you're fighting anger and cynicism
disappointment takes you out of your rhythm

20 parts courage
20 parts self-love
20 parts strength
conjoined in the light from above
makes you keep going
makes you never stop
