Except you

growing up in a part of the world where people don't care for another

Standing in an environment where all love is lost

A place where you find big pain and tears

nobody cares about what you face

you have to fight for yourself

stand and rule yourself

nothing can do it

except you

Are you writing about Nigeria in this one or the world in general. I'm interested because South Africa reflects the same harshness.

[Crosby Idasa]

I'm writing about the world in general... every part of the world go through pain

[likesgreeneggsandham]

That's very true these problems are universal. I do however find the harshness of certain countries is more at the surface, more pronounced.

[Crosby Idasa]

Yea, I think countries in Africa is deep into this harshness! Life in Africa is hard and painful

[Chris Shaw]

True. You have to fight your own corner. It's a tough world. There is great strength in these words of yours.
