Crutches

YOU'VE BEEN BROKEN

AND I FEAR THE WORST

BECAUSE NOW YOU USE YOUR CRUTCHES

EVERY TIME YOU GET HURT

THE FEAR OF PAIN DRIVES YOUR ACTIONS

YOUR FEAR OF YOU DRIVES YOUR PAIN

SO AFRAID OF THE LIGHTNING

THAT YOU WON'T GO IN THE RAIN

YET THE SOUNDS OF THUNDER CALM YOU

FOR YOU ARE USED TO THE STORMS

YOU ARE USED TO THE COLD

SO YOU'RE A SKEPTIC WHEN IT'S WARM

DORMANT THROUGH THE SUMMER

DURING TIMES THAT YOU COULD THRIVE

BUT YOU WON'T GET IN THE WATER

BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED TO TAKE A DIVE

STRIVING FOR THE BEST

BUT YOU WON'T FIND THE CROWN

UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CAN'T GET UP

UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN DOWN

WINNING DOESN'T MAKE YOU STRONG

HE WHO LOSES FOUGHT THE HARDEST

SOMETIMES VICTORY COMES TO THOSE

WHOSE EGO IS THE LARGEST

SO WHEN THEY BEAT YOU

AND IT WAS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR CLUTCHES

DON'T WALLOW IN YOUR SORROW

AND OVERUSE YOUR CRUTCHES
