Anyone can grit their teeth behind a smile

True strength is a struggle and it comes from inside

Is it really free if you pay with your time

Abuse is being hurt for wanting to survive

Just because they hold out their hand

Does not mean they're nice

Wisdom is knowing to always think twice

Furthermore to not ask why

Until we are taken by the light

Someone will assume it is their right to ruin your life

Anyone can grit their teeth behind a smile

True strength is a struggle and it comes from inside

Confidence, loyalty

Is not all as it seems

Sometimes it really is too good to be true

You either misstep once and learn through the heel

Or you worry about how horrible it will feel

In either case someone will have something to take from you

Despite the fact that you are nobody but you

Have the gift of living a life unique to you

Keep it going even though it is a pain to do

Anyone can grit their teeth behind a smile

True strength is a struggle and it comes from inside

Confidence, loyalty

Is not all as it seems

Not always as it seems

The people who sincerely reach out

Are those who can't afford to
