It's hard being an adult 

Responsibilities like boulders 

Tied to my feet 

And I'm sinking beneath the surface 

Losing the thing I need most 

Social interactions 

I need to be close to the people I love 

Because they give me strength 

Enough that I feel I can take on 

The toughest of challenges 

They spark the flame 

Which is more like a wildfire 

When it spreads to my soul

I think we all could use a little strength 

In a world that seems to be trying 

To tear us down
