Stand Tall

Life isn't always a ball

Tryin' to get balanced with anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and adderall

Medications are the difference between a serene and loud mind

A soul that becomes difficult to find

Stuck in my own world of noise

Destroying all chances of poise

Repeating the same tune over and over

Obsessing 'til my head feels like its been hit by a Range Rover

I speak to someone that helps me find ways to a better life

A Doctor that gives me feedback on how to cut my sorrow away with a knife

 

I try to walk tall but sometimes I can't help but to slouch

I want to stand but can't get off the couch

I want to get better

Starving for success--

"I'm going hungry" like that song sang by Eddie Vedder

Have I burnt my bridge to happiness?

I'm tired of all this crappiness...

 

I say screw being caged in a world of crap

I'm going to stop off-roading and follow the map

Keep it simple because complicated is too hard

Cutting through my obstacles like a razor sharp shard

I'm going to have my bad days but I can't stop for even a minute

A bad thought tries to interfere I'm going to rescind it...

 

Life is what you make of it--

I'd rather stand tall than slouch and sit...

http://youtu.be/tchwsQ7egco  This reminded me of an old 1976 song.  I love your poem.  You are right it is better to stand tall.
