How you doin'?

How you doin', ok?

I hear you struggle

To find some light 

In your day

 

They say you're dancing

All alone on the floor

And treat your friends

Like they're not friends

anymore

 

Your Mother's wine

helps your mind to escape

And washes down all

the pills that you take

 

Such plagues of sorrow

To find in the young

That life can stop

before it's even begun 

 

Sometimes, living 

can flay you of life

And make you feel like

it's not worth the fight

 

If you're different and

not part of 'the crowd'

Life can be cruel

overwhelming & loud

 

A Game Of Thrones

played for schoolyard supremacy

Rejoice the fear!

In those pleading for clemency

 

Lord Of The Flies

In a cyberspace dream

A masquerade

Of infinite schemes

 

We can forget 

How hard it is for the young

Trying to jostle

For their place in the sun

 

But you who fall

To your knees in despair

Don't you forget 

There are others down there

 

You're not alone

With those thoughts in your head

Nor the only one crying

As you lay in your bed

 

One day, in the mirror

You'll like what you see

And realise how 

strong you can be

 

'Cos life is an ocean

Its tides ebb & flow

One day you'll settle

Upon your own shore

 

And there you'll stroll

With the world in your hand

And leave your footprints

In life's golden sand

 

So how you doin'?

How you doin', ok?

I hear tomorrow

Is a much brighter day.
