A cloudy day, I'm at the coast
and slowly strolling by.
I was thinking to myself
when something caught my eye.
I sat down all alone
in the huge and empty place.
Gazing silently at the ground
when a tear ran down my face.
Then to no one in particular
I began to tell my tale.
I made a mistake in my life
but I didn't know it was so bad.
Every time I try so hard
I still can't get it right.
On the verge of breaking down
and giving up the fight.
They thought that I would never learn
They lost all hope in me.
And then I started rotting inside
Slowly and painfully.
I gave my best, I tried and tried
I thought that I did well.
But yet they thought it otherwise
it was then that I could tell.
They would never think me good
no matter how hard I try.
I lost all confidence in me
as the days went by
On the verge of giving up
all I had achieved,
he came up and said to me
You do not have to grieve.
Who was this person who was so kind?
He would soon become my friend.
And every time I felt down,
he'd lend a helping hand.
I'd like to thank this friend who helped
though I am still the same.
He taught me how to love myself
and I was not to blame.
