It’s hard to take accountability
To hold yourself responsible
But life is tough
A constant challenge
It takes effort to be strong
But you’re better in the end

It’s a daily battle
Always fighting, never giving up
The greats endure, the greats fight on
When the going gets tough they buckle down
They strap in, they go to war

Strong of mind, strong of spirit, strong of heart, strong of body
Sometimes you want to play the victim
Sometimes you want to shift the blame
The truth hurts, it’s hard to hear
But you don’t get better
You don’t get stronger (without it)

You need to be realistic
The truth may hurt, but you need to bear it
You can’t run your whole life
You can’t hide from your insecurities
You have to pay the piper
He will come calling

How you respond is up to you
Do you continue to run?
Do you keep playing the victim?
Life is tough, that’s the truth
The strong survive, the weak wither

Play the victim, shift the blame
It serves no purpose, it leaves you weak
The world is short on sympathy
And rightfully so
We’re all trying to figure it out
There’s no room for pity
When there’s so much room for growth

Build and encourage
Advise and support
Positive energy is infectious
Take control, better is within reach
Stop playing the victim
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
Pity is toxic, brooding is dangerous
The world is wide open in front of you
Stop playing the victim, take control
