But you're not special........

"If you take it down a notch and you let me explain"

You have decided to live in the reality of the life that you have created. You are accepting the environment that you are in and hopefully ridding yourself of the illusions that no longer serve you.

You are working on you, making goals and crushing them. Except that you found out,

 "you're not special"

That there will be no "15 minutes" of fame for you. That there is so much you want to accomplish and you want it all now. You feel you deserve it after all that you have been through.

"I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual"

We all, have fought in our own wars. We all, have had hard times. We all, have been hurt so badly. You see, you are not the only one who has had it bad, or even the worst of times.  The last time I checked, Life can suck, just as much as it can be perfect. Why do YOU think that makes you any different from her, him, them, or even me? Wanna compare scars?  Why?

"You see life's too short to run it like a race
So it's never gonna matter if you win first place"

Instead of believing that you deserve fame(for whateva reasons)why not just focus on making your life better? Take each moment for what it is. Do the best with what you have been dealt. Stop self medicating. Face it, deal with it, and move on. Turn to people you know that will give you, an ear to listen, a shoulder to lean on, a hug for comfort, and a kick in the ass when needed. 

"Hurry up before you go and get old
Hurry up before your blood runs cold
None of us were ever meant to stay
We're all gonna find out one day"

The sooner you make the best of your situation, the sooner you will realize,

"That on this earth we are all the same"

What are you waiting for?

Until Next Time,

~It Is What It Is~
