Eye of the Tiger

*Rising up, back on the street* *Did my time, took my chances* *Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet* *Just a man and his will to survive* I almost gave up on everything, and it hurt. Not just for me but also for my family. I can’t fight nor even try to fight. I’m so exhausted and can’t breathe but my family depends on me. I should fight my own battles together with my family issues that I just want to lose.  *So many times it happens too fast* *You change your passion for glory* *Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past* *You must fight just to keep them alive* At a young age, I dream of being successful. Like an American dream, it was so high like a bird flying in the sky. Today I think I'm just in the start of reaching it and I feel I want to give up already. Being the oldest I should know how to fight. Overthinking every night, having anxiety even in the day, and being depressed all this time. I wish I could just sleep all day.  *It's the eye of the tiger* *It's the thrill of the fight* *Rising up to the challenge of our rival* *And the last known survivor* *Stalks his prey in the night* *And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger* Having so many burdens on you. Just like expectations, standards and other problems that you should even think about. It is so heavy like a bag of rice on your back that you should carry all the years you will live. And it is not so easy like a piece of cake that you can do just in a snap.  *Face to face, out in the heat* *Hanging tough, staying hungry* *They stack the odds 'til we take to the street* *For the kill with the skill to survive* I always see being happy, being an outgoing person, being so jolly, and being friendly. But when I'm sad no one is there for me, no one is catching me when I almost fall. No one will ever save you from being sad, it was just yourself. Yourself will help you to stand and fight.  *It's the eye of the tiger* *It's the thrill of the fight* *Rising up to the challenge of our rival* *And the last known survivor* *Stalks his prey in the night* *And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger* As time goes by, I learn to handle situations but not all the time. Small improvement you can say, and I was so proud of myself. You can fight your own, by being strong and independent. Do not depend on your happiness to someone because she or he will not always be there for you.  *Rising up straight to the top* *Had the guts, got the glory* *Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop* *Just a man and his will to survive* Step by step, you will also learn to just trust yourself. Loving yourself will balance your own. It will help you grow, to realize, to be grateful, and be always brave. Be kind to other people because you don't know what they are experiencing. Always choose to be happy and fight all things. I believe in you, i know you can do it. *It's the eye of the tiger* *It's the thrill of the fight* *Rising up to the challenge of our rival* *And the last known survivor* *Stalks his prey in the night* *And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger* *The eye of the tiger* *The eye of the tiger* *The eye of the tiger* *The eye of the tiger* Lead Image: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsourcesofinsight.com%2Ffinding-your-eye-of-the-tiger-on-expert-access%2F&psig=AOvVaw2k3ZQPbjnvFO9IEdKOJuZa&ust=1620917295115000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNDowc-xxPACFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD Lyrics: https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Eye-of-the-Tiger/Eye-of-the-Tiger
