Pain, drain, it’s really not worth it if there is nothing to gain
Your mind wants to listen to them, your mind you must train
In peace you need to remain
When you focus on them, pain is all that remains
Focusing on them will destroy your self-esteem and make them feel vain
Self-focus is hard to maintain
So focused on them, you step out of your lane
Everyone’s path is different, it’s never the same
They don’t have it easy just because on their side it doesn’t rain
