Afraid of having someone love me.

 

Going on in this cold cruel world,
Trying to survive on my own.
I don't know if I can last forever,
All I know is I have to go on.
All I can do is go forward.
I can't allow myself to fall back.
I have to go on in this world,
Where they told me I was nothing.

 

I grew up knowing I was nothing,
I was taught that I wouldn't succeed.
But now I know what that I was taught,
All the things I shouldn't be.
I can make it in this world,
I can make it on my own,
I can be what I want,
All I have to do is try.

 

Going on in this cold cruel world,
Trying to survive on my own.
I don't know if I can last forever,
All I know is I have to go on.
All I can do is go forward.
I can't allow myself to fall back.
I have to go on in this world,
Where they told me I was nothing.

 

I've already beaten the odds
By doing what I know I can,
Writing songs and writing poems
Is a gift I've always had.
I just never knew what to do,
I didn't know if I should show.
The things I could do with a pen,
I didn't believe the world should know.

 

I'm going forward in this world.
I'm going to make it on my own.
I know that I kan keep on going,
As long as I do what I know.
At times I may trip and I may fall,
But I'll always get back up again.
And that is why I know I will make it,
Because nothing can keep me down.

 

I will never give up on myself.
I will never give up hope.
I will never give up fighting.
I will never let my dreams die.
I will make something of myself,
And I will prove everyone wrong.
By making it in this world
Where everything I was taught was wrong.
