this circle

Take this time to realize
That you always shut your eyes
In the midst of trial

Sometimes it's hard to face those things that we fear the most. It's difficult to come to terms with the fact that life is gonna hit us hard, we're going to fall, we're going to fail. If we're not careful, we get stuck in a vicious circle, one in which we fail, then get frustrated, then continue to fail because of out frustrations. We continually talk ourselves down and undercut any hope we have of overcoming those things because it seems to be fruitless. Trials, though hard, are refining. They purify us, help us eliminate the flaws of our character that would seek to always pull us down.

This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend.

Hiding from our inadequacies and pains will only make them worse. Face what is before you, stand up and tell the world that it can't bring you down. We are all the captains of our souls, the masters of our lives, nothing can stand in the way of what we truly want to accomplish. With dedication and desire we don't have to settle, we don't have to end up in that circle that takes over the lives of so many.
