A "Must Listen"
"Don't Give Up" by Ash Reed
Some days feel like the world on your back,
Like one more hit and you might crack.
Like nobody sees the weight you hold,
Like you’re fighting battles never told.
Bills stacking, trust collapsing,
Dreams delayed, doubts attacking.
You smile through it, play it cool,
But inside you’re breaking too.
You feel tired but you ain’t lazy,
Just overwhelmed, mind going crazy.
You question if it’s worth the climb,
If you’re running out of time.
But you still wake up every day,
Even when you want to fade.
That ain’t weakness that’s fight,
That’s surviving another night.
You came too far…
To quit now.
Don’t give up
Even when it hurts like hell.
Don’t give up
Even when you’re by yourself.
You’re stronger than you think you are,
You survived every scar.
Don’t give up
This ain’t where you fall apart.
Don’t give up
The storm don’t last forever.
Don’t give up
You break? You rebuild better.
Hold the line, stand your ground,
Even when nobody’s around.
Don’t give up
You’re closer than you know right now.
I know the nights feel endless,
I know the silence gets relentless.
I know the voice inside your head
Sometimes wishes you were dead inside instead.
But that voice ain’t truth
It’s fear in disguise.
It’s pain talking loud,
It ain’t your size.
You were built from struggle,
Built from grit.
You were built to take the hit.
Every scar is proof you stood,
When others wouldn’t, you could.
Every loss just sharpened steel,
Made you real.
You didn’t survive all that…
To fold now.
Yeah You been knocked down, counted out,
Doubted heavy, filled with doubt.
You been hurt, betrayed, left,
Felt like you got nothing left.
But look at you
Still breathing.
Still standing.
Still demanding more.
You ain’t weak for feeling low,
You ain’t soft for moving slow.
Progress ain’t always loud,
Sometimes it’s just not backing down.
You ain’t behind You on your path.
You ain’t finished You just in the draft.
The same pain that tried to end you…
Is shaping who you’re meant to be.
Don’t give up
Even when it hurts like hell.
Don’t give up
Even when you’re by yourself.
You’re stronger than you think you are,
You survived every scar.
Don’t give up
This ain’t where you fall apart.
Don’t give up
The storm don’t last forever.
Don’t give up
You break? You rebuild better.
Hold the line, stand your ground,
Even when nobody’s around.
Don’t give up
Your better days are coming now.
You made it this far.
Don’t stop now. "
