The kick by Grant Harbison

I have to go and never go back

I have to love me and not allow it to lack

I’m going forward you see

For it’s high time that I thought about me

I’ve been far too long stuck in a rut

A slave to self-loathing with a mind that had shut

But now I don’t want to be that slave

Pushing myself to an early grave

When you learn from someone and learn self esteem

That nightmare can eventually turn to a dream

Knowing that person will always be there

Kicking me hard if I ever despair
