Just Like Anyone

They say I’m walking under sunshine, Like I never taste the rain, Like every door just opens for me, Like I’ve never known the strain. They think I’m floating on the surface, Never sinking, never torn, Like I don’t hide my quiet battles In the hours before the dawn. I’m just like anyone, anyone — I fall, I break, I rise again. I walk this earth like everyone, Through doubt, through loss, through pain. I ask for hope like anyone, For one more light to guide me through, I’m just like anyone, anyone — The same as you. Yes, life can shake me without warning, Turn the sky from blue to gray, But in the dark I keep a whisper: “This will pass… I’ll find my way.” I’m just like anyone, anyone — I stand, I bend, I don’t give in. I walk this earth like everyone, With fragile skin and stubborn will. I ask for strength like anyone, For brighter days to break on through, I’m just like anyone, anyone — The same as you.
