The World Is Full of Snakes

The world is full of snakes.
Don't trust all the handshakes.

The sadness doesn't let me sleep.
and disparity keeps me awake.

Standing alone needs a steely will.
It’s a roller coaster, not a piece of cake.

You are a man, so be brave.
Keep on a smile, no matter real or fake.

Hug yourself and calm your heart down.
love yourself, and forgive your mistakes.

Hold yourself when everyone leaves, my dear
you’re macho, you're valiant, you just need a break.
