Failed a maths test, but held my head high.
Got whacked in the face but my face stayed dry.
Had to buy new glasses, that tore me apart.
Got turned down for a PGCE ... that broke my heart.
The glass walls are shattered, my face is battered,
nothing I do makes sense any more. Life threw me
the biggest curveball ever and now I don't know what
to do ... and the black space looms again.
The pain looms in my heart and I don't know what I
can say. My parents are sad, my fiancé's upset, and
yet I remain serene throughout it all. Talk about the
calm before the storm.
