Sacrifice

"We try to reach our goals and it's not easy
So many obstacles in our way making us crazy
But the only thing stopping us is us
We begin doubting our decisions and lose our trust
We stop believing that we can do anything we want, like we've been told growing up
But so many issues keep showing up
The toughest thing we have to do is sacrifice
We have to give things up in order to gain
Even if that means we endure a little pain
Some wounds just never heal
Emotional scars from the past we can still feel
Seems like they never close up
Afraid someone will notice it from close up
Feeling them reminds us what we've given up to be where we are
Seems like yesterday when our goals seemed so far
I know there are things we never think can hinder our growth, like family
That's our foundation and soul, how can that be?
It's not something that happens purposely, it's our ties we can't sever
But the bond we share won't end, it lasts forever
We prolong our stay at home to help out our parents and lose sight of our dreams
But realizing them brings back bigger and better things
We're afraid to leave because it feels like we're turning our back
Thing is, you're walking through a revolving door, for them you'll always come back
There isn't a knob so you can just push right through it
That eventually means everyone, because for them is why we do it."
