Shake it off. <br />Pick yourself up, they say. <br />Your life fell apart in your hands, and you’ve got the scars to prove it. <br />It’s not the first time, and they’re getting deeper. <br />Pull it together. <br />Button up your shirt. <br />Roll down those sleeves. <br />Don’t let them see how you’ve coped. <br />More and more your demeanor looks like quicksand. <br />It seems like your giving up on everything you worked for. <br />It’s pulling you under. <br />It’s gripping around your throat. <br />Life can be overwhelming, <br />but don’t turn your back on the strongest crutch you’ve ever. <br />They have always been there to brace your fall. <br />Wave goodbye to the past. <br />You’ve got your whole life to lead. <br />It’s time to gain some ground
