Rise Up

I was fighting for my life with depression and OCD
I thought it was an endless cycle when I learned the truth
I had to admit to them what was going on inside my little booth of mine
I made connections to state my rejections
Going on in my brain with all affection
And then it was good, I was all good, and we were all good as a community

Opened a new door
Left the old key behind
A whole bunch of opportunities that I haven't seen before
Then there was something else I saw

It was unbelievable, barely breathable
Can I tell you for real what I saw just a millisecond
Will you not laugh in my face while I tell you something
Okay, I'll tell you
My problem got resolved but ain't nobody said
Just one problem mended doesn't mean
I've descended from my staircase away from my issues

I recognized I got jeopardized
While still staying on the same path
Life still throws stuff at me
Even though I closed all the patches up

I am now understanding how nonsense life can be sometimes
You don't have the slightest clue of my situation
But that is alright with me
'Cause I learned you've got to fight with what you have

You just have to rise up and tell yourself it's alright
You'll have to get through this
You could use help if you wish

You have to learn to accept yourself as you are
And learn it's okay and don't be blue
And you have to recognize it, take advantage, and advance
Don't look at the past
