there are some times in life when you
fold down and you feel like you don’t
have the strength to get back up you put
a mask on your face you come to school
and pretend that everything is okay when
it’s not and you go home and lay in your
bed when no one is looking at you you
don’t have to impress anybody you are
yourself and fear who comes in you know
that fear that you have as soon as you
walk into the doors of your house maybe
it’s a broken or that’s not strong if
you have thousand your life maybe you
don’t know for sure it’s going to happen
in the future and it scares you maybe
you’re worried about what people think
of you what people say about you and
that fear paralyzes you
[Music]
and I just want to ask you today do you
think you have hope and this is the
thing it should be impossible for me to
get back up but it’s not you see I will
try 100 times to get up and if I fail
100 times if I fail and I give up do you
think that I’m ever going to get up
no but if I fail then I try again and
again and again for as long as I try
there’s a chance for me to get up does
that make sense
and it’s not the end until you’ve given
up just the fact that you’re here should
persuade you that you have another
chance to get back up there is still
hope I’m not here today to tell you that
I understand I don’t know how it feels
to be abused I don’t know how it feels
to feel fat
I don’t know how it feels to have an
eating disorder I don’t know how it
feels have a broken home I don’t know
how it feels but I know how it feels to
have a broken heart and I know how it
feels to be alone but I just want you to
know that it’s not the end it matters
how you are going to finish are you
going to finish strong and you will find
that strength to get back up like this
[Music]
we’re all going through something
we’re all trying to find out something
that happiness you can find it picture
yourself in an open area where there is
no building no shelter there’s a storm
above you
this storm represents the situation in
your life you don’t tell anybody what
you’re going through because first of
all they wouldn’t understand and second
of all they can’t even help you anyway
you’re in the storm and you’re down on
your knees and you’re cold and you’re
are you not still here you are still
here
let’s do it let’s wake up embrace it man
lets you live what do you want to do in your life
